SILVER THREE PENCE 1762

[PANNONIAN]

I work in construction. I allways seek permission from the homeowner,to search the property. Most of the time they give me the OK Today was such a day.Boy I'm glad I did! Found only one silver at lunch time,but this made my day. First I thought this is a worn barber dime,. But after turning the coin over,realized this is something better. And when i saw the date I've got the chill! Private property is the way to go! Good luck to you guys! Pannonian

Wow, that little buggard is SUPER awesome. Whenever you hit those Colonial sites, you never know what is going to be dug next. That is why I, as well as my uncle and brother, strictly hunt for the COLONIAL stuff!!!!!

Now, get back out there and dig up another for us to see!

Now there's an ol piece of silver you dont see every day. Great find!!!

That's a good ole silver and kind of an oddball find in the US.

I would consider it a oddball in the UK. We have never found one of these early 3 pences & as a collector of British coins it very difficult to find these early dates at all! Although this one is a more common date & not worth a great deal (in the UK anyway) its an extremely rare find (IMO).

CONGRATS!!!

That's very interesting. I never would have suspected it was such an uncommon find there. What is your ratio of Geo. III shillings (1787 type) to those of late Geo. III 1816/1817? We have never found any early type but quite a few of the later ones. Judging by how many of the early types are for sale I'm thinking they must get dug in the UK.

No not really. I can remember 1 & I have loads of the later.

Hmmm.. Now that one I would have never suspected. There seems to be just as many of each floating around so funny the ground is such a different story. As I said I find it very interesting what shows up and what not.

One last one... 1797 Two pence. The three of us here have found many of the pennies but Romeo was the first to dig a Two. It was so drilled in my brain one couldn't be found I looked at it that day in the field and said cartwheel... but went away thinking hmm that sure looked thick. (And you know what a big difference there is between the two) Of course once we got back it didn't take long to realize what he had.

2 X Two Pence & several One's

I'm speechless with drool. WTG!

 

[wagbert]

Yea! Pannonian, WTG !!! I am really happy for you to have found such a historical British coin here in the United States. The coin is a very nice example too. You make us proud with your amazing find!
By the way, I'll bet most TreasureNet readers don't know what Pannonian means. I've collected coins for many years, so I know something about the ancient Roman Provinces. Ancient Pannonia comprised mostly what is today the countries of Austria and Hungary. Does that have any relation to your TNet name?
