Three Georges

[jaydogg]

Had an unusual day this week as I found a coin from the reign of George I, II, III. I can count the amount of George I coppers I have found on one hand so to find a Woods George I Irish halfpenny in a decent condition was a bonus. The token is interesting; it’s a Risca union Copper Company penny (1811). It has an image of a Blake-like ‘dark satanic mill’ on it. Just as interesting to find as hammereds or Romans in my opinion.  Enjoy.

always love em when they come out in that condition,,,,i carry a coin with me that i dug up a while ago as a good luck item a 1746 penny {why} cause its the best condition copper penny ive found in almost 5 years tectin,,,,,nice finds ,hammereds and roman are nice but everything is special to its own period.

Well done Jaydogg - a cracking selection of coinage there - as we always say love the early coppers!

Never heard of a Woods George Ist before - great bit of research.

The tokens a beaut as well - as I said to you yesterday they can be pretty collectable.

Nice post

Nice to see some coppers in good condition, you must be well stoked.  Makes a change from finding hammereds and Roman I suppose

Nice going JD, nice when you can read what you've got. I found a Woods Hibernia 1723 a couple of weeks ago and that was in nice condition too, I wonder if it has a different alloy to the normal coins.
I've got to ask though;

I can count the amount of George I coppers I have found on one hand 

Where have you been detecting....on the Moon?
