The sad part about this is that when I found it I thought it was a dirty Clad quarter. Found in the Stoneham Mass woods, not sure exactly where? Anyway, The next morning I was cleaning out the trash and coins in my pouch and began stacking up the clad...all dimes, all nickles etc. That's when I noticed that one of the quarters was thicker than the rest. When I took a closer look, nearly had a stroke!!! Not in too bad a shape for a 295 year old coin. My oldest yipee.. What makes this hobby so much fun

WOW absolutely amazing. Huge congrats!!!! Just think...George Washington wasn't even born yet when that coin was minted. :wow:

A King George I halfpenny or possibly farthing (can't determine the exact size in your attachment) and in pretty good condition. An oldie for America! Well done!
