Please vote for best foreign coin/token.



#1. Zot's Hibernia George III penny circa 1800. Found in Ireland.




#2. Zot's British Halfpenny 1861 (bronze). Found in Ireland.





#3. Dockwalliper's 1963 Canadian silver quarter and a 1964 Roosevelt dime from the same hole. Being that these came from the same hole, they count as a single find.(even though the roosie is a US coin)

Congrats Zot. I forgot about my French coin otherwise we could have made it a closer race.

Zot

Thanks!

The coin, by the way, will still be in olive oil for quite some time, but is cleaning up rather nicely.
I briefly picked it out of the oil today to take some pictures.

Starting point:


Now (glare is from oil on the coin):
Not too bad detail for a dug 200-year old Another couple of months and it will look nice
The date is 1805.
