Mystery treasure 1797 Britannia Copper Coin
Hey Putting it out to #steemsilvergold community if anyone can shed some light or give some info on this mystery coin.
I guess I could Google it myself but though this would be more fun.
BRITANNIA 1797
GEORGIUS III •D:G•REX.
I’m pretty sure it’s made of copper, weighs 56g , Diameter 41mm and approx 5mm thick.
So is it Real or Fake?
Have I stumbled on Trash or is it Treasure?
Thanks @bearone for the teamaustralia and steemsilvergold banners
Cartwheel two pence. Fetching quite good money at about £40. Might have to find mine out now to see what condition it is in.
Be great to see a pic to compare.
For being that old the coin is certainly in very good state!
It’s got one reasonable ding in the edge at about 4 o’clock near the REX but it is in good shape. Lovely age petina. It’s certainly a solid lump of copy I hope 2p bought a lot more than it would now to carry it around.
That’s defo a real one... looks in good shape though
Its sounding like it’s proper treasure
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
Copper two pence (scarce) : value VG = 14GBP F=42 GBP etc . Looks F=Fine to me.
Thanks so much for the info. I think it’s a worthy addition to my stack even though it’s not a Precious metal.
I can’t imagine the history that this price of copper has seen in 221 years.
