    KGI, KG III, CT Copper?

    UPDATE - I found one on eBay that I believe is the same coin. Thanks all.

    Hey all,

    I was hoping you guys might be able to help me identify a coin I dug today. I've dug a bunch of KGIIs and I'm pretty good at identifying those, but I've not dug many KGI, KGIIIs or CT Coppers.

    The Nose, chin and bust don't see to match any of the KGIs or KGIIIs on Coin Database.

    KGIs - http://www.coindatabase.com/coin_libras.php?pais=350 (none are over 27mm)
    KGIIIs - http://www.coindatabase.com/coin_libras.php?pais=370.


    This coin weighs 7g and is 27.4mm wide. Not much detail at all on back.

    Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Ken

    I think you are right,Ken. A George I halfpenny ( pronounced "Haypny"). Diameter fits , but the weight is about 2gms light. That 'uns in even worse condition than my Geo I finds!
