Forget about them again Gary and just send them over to me. I'll pay for the turtle.

I was looking a little closer at the William IIII and George IV pennies, and I would think they would grade even higher that Fine.  In addition, while I know very little about errors, the King George coin has what might well be a die crack.

I'll see if I can get my daughter to post pictures of both coins.

Nice...I have a few of the early English coins (prior to 1900) and am always looking for more to increase my collection.

Some of the older ones have been used for so long there is not much of the pattern left.....but it make you wonder...in whose hands has these coins been.
