Title: Coin I.D. Please Pete Post by: 150aceboy on May 20, 2010, 12:08:38 PM Hi Pete, please could you help to ID the bust on this coin.
The coin is around the same size as a Halfpenny. At first i thought it could be George IV, as the head is facing left, but this coin has has a bow and 2 ribbons hanging from back of head, not shown on George IV coins ??? Also thought could it be George II, but on his bust , he has shoulders, which are not on my coin ??? I know its going to be difficult, but please could you help I.D. , its driving me nuts lol ;D Ace ;) Title: Re: Coin I.D.

Looks most like a very worn George II to me, or maybe a forgery of one? Title: Re: Coin I.D. Please Pete Post by: 150aceboy on May 20, 2010, 07:59:58 PM Hi Pete, the back is completely plain mate
