NICE!!!

This one is so detailed, I may have set the GIN too low!

this is indeed a very nice auction. although my brother might have been incorrect and a little quick to judge. this is in fact a "large penny" not a half penny, but, they are quite similar.

@ryanmiddleton165, is that really an image of King George III on there? It sure looks like it to me.

this is a half penny people not a penny...be careful as this post will probably be erased too... just trying to help other fellow collectors know what they are getting

Very detailed coin for sure....however...this my friend is a 1/2 penny......not a penny.... just fyi. Nice auction for sure...f+w

I have to say anything and I mean anything with the face of king George the III on it is super valuable and will always be valuable. why? because he is the tyrant we declared our independence from. And that is why you should want this coin. It is about our liberty & freedom & independence!

Cool, a 1799 Carlos III Ral Real Obverse (Carolus III) similar to The silver real (Spanish: real de plata) was the currency of the Spanish colonies in the Americas and the Philippines. In the seventeenth century the silver real was established at two billon reals (reales de vellón) or sixty-eight Spanish maravedís. Gold escudos (worth 16 reales) were also issued. The coins circulated throughout Spain's colonies and beyond, with the eight-real piece, known in English as the Spanish dollar, becoming an international standard and spawning, among other currencies, the United States dollar. A reform in 1737 set the silver real at two and half billon reals or eighty-five maravedís. This coin, called the real de plata fuerte, became the new standard, issued as coins until the early 19th century. The gold escudo was worth 16 reales de plata fuerte.

Incredible coin! I presume this coin was used in British North America (Canada?). Obviously it's after the declaration of independence. Hmmm, maybe I can list some quick auctions to get enough credits for this one.

wow ...this is a very cool old coin...wish i had my credits up ....always a great auction with very cool coins
