    It's a 1797 farthing, halfpenny, penny or twopence from Great Britain, George III. Without my catalogs handy and without the size information, I cannot be sure which.

    These are large heavy copper coins. Unless a rare die variety, quite common in circulated, many were made.

    I 'll be the first to admit I don't know a lot on these, but I think it's actually a 1797 not a 1707......

    It is indeed a 1797 and not a farthing or halfpenny, as those were not struck in that style. (Only patterns).

    It is a Cartwheel penny or twopence, depending on the size. As I mentioned over on the world coin forum, these were the very first coins to be struck on steam presses. Due to their incovenient size and weight, people hated them then, but collectors love them now.

    Yup - 1797 British Cartwheel, either a penny or twopence depending on size. Can't possibly be from 1707 because old King George III was not the reigning British monarch at that point in time.

    He wasn't even born yet. He was born in 1738.

    True enough - but without my references, specifically the Peck catalog, I couldn't tell if by some strange act of God he had a circulated pattern.
