I found another great coin today, a King William III or George III I believe. I'm not sure exactly which one as the front detail on the face isn't that great and the back is hard to make out. I'll post weight and measurement soon. Can anyone identify?

The front seems to line up with this coin, a Copper Half Penny George III

Not sure about the back, having a hard time pulling any detail from mine?

Thanks! It was an amazing 3 days.

I think it's an 1807 King George III. The nose lines up better and when you rotate the coin, you can see the shield and the word stands out. The hole threw me off, I thought it would be near the top on both sides.

Great find! I love holed coins. They are just a little more personal to me.

Grats on a holed LC. Idk why it took a long time for me to nab one. They were often holed, yet I found many regular LC first.

Nice going. Have found plenty of George's from the 1700's but none from the 1800's.

I'm with the Rebel, no 1800's KG's for me either. Congrats on getting a piece of history.
