    I Believe It's a William III Halfpenny

    Dug this coin back in January. It's what I believe to be a William III halfpenny (1690's). It's in pretty rough shape but with the bust facing right along with finding a few smaller details, we believe it's a William III. What do you guys think??

    Congrats on the William the III , Owen . more than likely the 1699 variety they were the most minted I believe .
