I found this coin today, I thought it was another King George II Farthing. However, the date is on the rear at the bottom in small print which is different that my other coin. Also, there seems to be a T then an A on the side left of rear.

Here is a photo of the coin and I highlighted some things that I was able to see.

57414

Any help would be VERY much appreciated! Thanks

** update **

I think it might be
57415

I've found that having a light source to one side so it casts the light across the surface of the coin gives it much better contrast to see the details . From what I can see it does resemble a king George II

Yeah, the obverse does make it difficult to tell whether it is right facing or left facing bust. Must be a KG2 having Britania on the back, tho, and def not a state copper having a date of 1745. KG 2 were 1739-1760 for the old bust variety.
