Wow, what a great hunt. Those S-barbers are impressive, especially in CT. I get happy if I get an S-wheatie.

Re: SEATED SILVER SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good day diggin!

British King George III Halfpenny 1806 or 1807.

yeap, its a small range & the most common copper

Most common there but a fairly uncommon find in the US. I don't think Don has ever found one and that's quite a few early coppers. We dig them here but it's expected.

only commented on mintage.

Gotcha but mintage doesn't mean much on our side. Unless it's much higher than the 1700s Georgies there might be a higher number of the 06/07 minted, but with so many of the early coins counterfeited there probably was a larger number of those. We do find the 1800s ones but not as many as I would expect because I thought they would have been a popular coin before the tokens came on the scene in about 1812. Just a few more days and we'll be hunting them all down!
