Spanked Copper

[greasecarguy]

Wow, found this in an area I have not hit hard because I have found very deep clad coins here. Yes, i was fortunate enough to find my 1/2 reale not 50' away, however, I have stayed away from this area. Well, at ~ 5" I found this spent King George...doubt I'll get a date off of it, but it still counts fellas.

Also dig this merc.....all of my dimes this year have been merc's so far.

Nice finds - pretty interesting that you found two coins that probably span about 200 years. HH

Great finds - looks like the first George, is that right? Don't see any II or III, but maybe it's just the pic.

A friend on another forum says ' "yes King George III half penny , probably 1770's or 80's from the looks of it.".

Good job on the Half Penny. Would love to find one. HH

Nice find. Even though there are no dates on most of those old coppers, they are still a blast to find.Great work. HH and GL.
