Title: Gorgeous Georgius Post by: handyman [Alan} on February 12, 2014, 09:26:09 AM Well, as u guys n gals brace yourselves for yet another bout of wet and windy weather, i decided to post up 2 pics of some nice georgian coins.
the first is a halfcrown, found last week. After soaking in oil and gentle cleaning, it should be silver, so i can only presume it is a forgery. the second is a lovely obverse image of an 1871 halfpenny. enjoy Title: Re: Gorgeous Georgius Post by: DEADLOCK on February 12, 2014, 09:43:49 AM Nicely done there mr

Title: Re: Gorgeous Georgius Post by: handyman [Alan} on February 12, 2014, 09:57:46 AM Nice coins Alan - lets see some more for the Georgie coppers. totally agree neil, we don't often see good quality georgian coins posted. It will be interesting to see what comes along. Title: Re: Gorgeous Georgius Post by: probono on February 12, 2014, 10:10:22 AM Nice :)
The only Geo III halfcrown I found was a forgery, but was much further gone than your example - it's quite possible that your Geo 1/2d is a contemporary forgery too - I think about 40% of them were.

Title: Re: Gorgeous Georgius Post by: Dryland on February 12, 2014, 03:34:32 PM Nice finds Al, i've only found three Georgian coppers and the farmer asked if he could have them.
How could I refuse ??? Title: Re: Gorgeous Georgius Post by: diggaduff on February 12, 2014, 03:47:30 PM Cracking half penny :)
