Recent Finds - King George (?) Copper, 1806 LC, 1807 Silver!!

[grasshopper]

Been out hunting a few times lately and haven't had time to post. 1st hunt was at a late 18th c. blockhouse that is now a field...there is also a house on the same property from the 1830s. I found the King George copper coin right inbetween the blockhouse and the actual house. It is really worn but I can make out the right facing bust and the "georgivs" along the right side. nothing on the back is visible.

Next I hunted an early 1800s house. In the front yard I got 2 mercs in one hole (1917, 1937), a 1806 Large Cent in pretty good condition and an 1807 2 reale spanish silver! It's in fairly good shape...unfortunately it was under a bunch of roots and I scratched it pretty good trying to get it out! I even told my buddy who was watching that if it was a coin it was probably going to have scratches all over it when i finally get it out! Oh well...still a cool coin to find!

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!!!

Those finds are right up my alley and I wish they were right in my finds pouch. Way to pull in the good stuff!

VERY Nice finds!!!
That large cent has some really good detail...I think some of
the caked-on crust might come off if you soak it in some EVOO.
It works for me.
Congrats!!

Great Finds! Sure wished they made coins like that today. So cool!

I have a feeling your KG III is a Regal issue & not an imitation, that would make it a little different than the majority of these.

That's what many East coasters will be looking forward too in another month or two , Early America coinage , KG ,s and Spanish silver ! Sweet looking Draped Bust largie . Thanks for the inspiration to get some as well

That Draped is a low mintage and plenty of detail remains.
don't clean it further if you want to retain it's value,
whether you choose to keep or sell your finds
you do want to have the best grading possible.
I think you're lookin at high 3, maybe 4 figures there.
