  I have several inexpensive George III coppers, both British and Irish. I will have to look and see what I've got. Cheap stuff, mostly low grade.

  Oh- I also think I have a silver crown or two from 1819-20, plus some George IV crowns.
  
  Again, mostly low grade stuff, and relatively cheap.

  I didn't find any of the crowns, though I know I have at least one lying around somewhere.
  
  I did find some of the cheap coppers.
  
  Great Britain:

  1775 halfpenny, G4, KM601, copper. No problems, just honest wear. $3.501775 halfpenny, VG10, KM601, copper. Dented somewhat, giving it a slightly convex shape. $2.501806 halfpenny, F12, KM662, copper. Some small rim nicks. $2.00

  Ireland:

  177? halfpenny, F15, KM140, copper. Last digit of date weakly struck and/or off the flan. Either 1775 or 1776, probably 1775. Catalogs $30.00 VF. $6.00

  This one at least I have a quickie scan of:
  
  
  
  The coin is in fact much browner and better looking than the picture, which had to be brightened a little to show the details.

  Oh, BTW- The 1775 halfpennies are probably the most commonly counterfeited date (contemporary counterfeits, that is). I'm not totally sure about the dented VG example above, whether it is regal issue or a contemporary counterfeit or a Machins Mill piece or whatnot. The G4 example I am pretty sure is regal issue.

  Can you send me (or post) a scan of the 1806 halfpenny ?

  Not at the moment, I'm afraid. I'm at work.
  
  But maybe tomorrow.

  Are you looking for high end or low end stuff?
