Hi everyone. I found my first old coin today! I was so excited and tried cleaning it methodically with a toothpick for hours. Unfortunately I still couldn't get a date. I saw another post had these identifying pictures below. I could use some help distinguishing the age range. Either way I am super excited I got my first colonial coin! Thanks everyone.

I would have to say 1740-1754 variety based on the area below the shoulder, the u in Georgius, and the II to the right of the bust. The earlier variety has noticeably less space than the later type. Just my uneducated guess.
 
Definitely the 29-39 variety. Look at the pony tail and the hair bulge off the head by the pony tail. Congratulations on the great find.
 
Congrats on your find,,, I found a 1717 king George II ,,, It looks like your,,, I found coins pics on him ,,, If you look at the tip of his hair line it come to a point,,, The distance between hair and letters will tell you what year it is,,, Every pic tip of hair points at a difference place,,, Hope this help you.
 
Ah. Yes. The wheat penny of colonial sites. Great find and Im sure it will be the first of many
 
I would say it's the 1729-1739 based on the hairline, it's hard to tell really. Either way it's a great find.
