Yesterday I dug my oldest coin to date. A 1723 Woods Hibernia half penny.

I dug these baby's up at the beach. They're old Japanese coins called "Kuan Ei Tsu Ho". They're relatively common, I have about 7 of them now I think. There are some slight verities where the lettering is different. They were made from 1626-1859.

It's British and Queen Victoria, probably a halfpenny.

I posted it in the "What is it" thread and they said it is QV one penny.

The design is close so when you can't read what it says, measurement is the next easy way to tell. So it's a large coin, larger than a US large cent?

Would it be worth anything if it was in good condition?

It's like other common coins that in decent condition might put a few bucks in your pocket, but you'd need a real high grade to get any real cash.
