Unsure about this coin?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Yet again im calling on the expertise of members of this forum for help :)

Bearing in mind i am only using on-line searches and do not have any official books (yes i now know that i need them)

Hopefully my questions regarding coins do not come across too stupid..this is not my game, as you know im not a collector and fortunately have been given two collections.

I cannot seem to find a copy of this coin, possibly due to the condition of mine, as you can see its not in good condition at all and i have a feeling the denomination of coin has been worn away.

help appreciated cheers all.

You have a George 111 Soho mint halfpenny if its 29mm or farthing if its 21mm.

The date appears to be 1807 but these type of coins were only minted in 1806 & 1807

From the proportions, and without being able to see the actual coin in the flesh, it looks as if it may be an 1807 penny. I'm judging that from the proportionate size of the rim and the legend, but obviously, your measurement of the diameter will let us know for sure.
