I'm sitting around waiting for a storm so I started organizing my latest finds...I came across this coin and labeled it "171? KG1" I don't remember where/when I found it but took it out because I thought I could clean it better and maybe get a date. I think I now see the last number but was wondering if you folks could confirm it. Thanks!

It is the same size as that 1724 I found the day you found that silver knee buckle ...about 27mm

Looks like 1716 to me.I thought it could be 1916 also Tony, but I can't find one from that year with Britannia on the back.

:lol: Now that you say that I can clearly see the 24 under the mess. Earlier I was literally holding it up next to a 1724 to see how big it was :lol:
I'm wondering if that crud will come off or anymore cleaning will just erase what is left. :dontknow: Thanks again for your eagle eyes and help!

they did make 1717 , 1718 and 1719 , but I think these were called "dumps" as they were noticeably smaller diameter coins . then in 1719 they were the enlarged to the normal sized half pennies we usually find.
