1766 George III Half penny, amazing 247 years old..

[GKMan]

I often picture who was the last person to hold this coin, and how it ended up where it was all those years ago..

Found in the middle of a field. This coin is an Irish copper halfpenny issued in 1766 by George III, or so the website said that I found it on...

Amazing!

Sighs... Sulks... Looks for old places to hunt close by and remembers that his state wasn't even founded until 1890. Kicks the dog and locks himself in the bathroom.
