Finds from my short and rainy hunt in New Jersey. KGI Hibernia, 1723. I thought it was a 1725, which I was having no luck finding any info about until I read there was a die flaw which occurs on one variety of the 1723 halfpenny which makes it look like the date is 1725. So, it's my second oldest coin to date, just 1 year younger than my 1722 Nine Deniers. I'm pretty sure the dent is from someone shooting it as I found a large cent earlier in the year close to where I found this coin and it had 9-10 dents in it. I'm still trying to ID the button, it's a "S" woven into a design, but no luck yet. Anyone else see a button like this before?
The button says "Firmin & Son" "London 1" "TRA" and then "155" right next to shank.
