That would be a "barrel" of fun. I think that coins were shipped in barrels.

There has to be some more copper around to post. I've only got one more!

It's British, and it's copper -- but it's a medal. Mudie Medal No. 31 to be exact.

From the Numismatic Chronicle (1888, Volume 8; pp. 262-263).
This is one of Mudie's series of national medals. Adolphus Frederick, Duke of Cambridge, son of George III and Queen Charlotte, born 24 Feb., 1774, was in 1793 appointed colonel in the Hanoverian army. He served in the campaign of 1794-5, and in 1803 was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the King's German legions, a force in British pay, and destined to relieve Hanover then menaced by the French armies. The Duke of Cambridge, however, soon transferred his command to Count Walmoden, and coming to England was charged with superintendence of a home district. In 1814, when the French were expelled from Hanover, the Duke again took command of the electorate, which under the Treaty of Vienna was elevated to the rank of a kingdom, the Duke being appointed Governor-General in 1816. He continued to discharge these important duties till the year 1837 when the death of William IV. placed Hanover under the rule of the next male heir, the Duke of Cumberland. The Duke afterwards took up his residence at Cambridge House, Piccadilly, where he died 8 July, 1850. He was very popular in this country, and for many years was regarded as emphatically the connecting link between the throne and the people.

That's excellent!

I've got a few conders left. I like this one...and I can do a few medals and some British Empire sorts, just not a lot of actual British copper. A glaring deficiency in my collection has been made apparent!

The official coronation medal for Queen Victoria by B. Pistrucci (BHM 1801) features a high relief bust of Victoria on a 36mm medal. However, Pistrucci also produced an 87mm medal for the occasion (BHM 1802) that should appeal to copper fans.

Awesome pieces in this post, congrats to all.

Since my local auction experience I had last month, where several pristine British coins had sold, I can't seem to get away from the dark side...it's too intriguing, and inviting. Just purchased this Penny last night.....I know I can check out anytime I like; but can I ever leave? Cue Don Felder, and Joe Walsh.

Going back to early medieval times with some copper (more technically bronze or even brass) stycas from the British Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria (from ca. 830-860):

It appears we have opened the flood-gates to posting 18 Century Tokens -- so I will start with this one.

I'm going to wait for the kerfluffle to settle for a wee bit before posting my stuff - that is a loverly medal me thinks.

This token is now in an NGC MS63BN holder. I took these pics when it was raw.

Copper gilt pattern halfpenny, Peck-1165. The pattern cartwheel halfpennies and farthings never made it into production.

RobP

Cartwheels of any denomination were never Royal Mint products, being produced at Boulton & Watt's Soho mint in Birmingham. This particular die pair was a restrike by Taylor, struck sometime between 1862 and 1885 from dies purchased at the sale of the Soho Mint contents in 1848 following closure.

I have a silver and a copper example of this die pair. The colours on the copper are like an oil painting - beautiful.

TwoKopeiki

Wow @RobP - that's a stunner!

While downloading my Photobucket images from the last 10 years or so, a few copper pieces stood out.

Lovely as usual! What is the one on the bottom right?
