Not a 1734 Half Penny but a Richard Hurd half penny 1814 ...LOL

[miller6670]

I found this Half Penny in the vicinity of Camden, NC. It's about the size of a Half Dollar. It has a picture of a sailing ship on the front and it says Half Penny London. The reverse has someones initials in script surrounded by maybe oak leaves...In pretty bad shape and the only number in the date that is visable, with out the aid of a loupe, is the 4 but it's my oldest find to date. lol
