James 1st Farthing ?

Post by olstonsurf »

Found this on a new permission today. Clear signal ( around 35) on the legend at a depth of about 8 inches.
I think it’s a James 1st farthing?
Does anyone know where it was minted or a date ?
Thanks

Olstonsurf probably doesn't know of any coins starting with C D G, hence why he's posting in the ID section :~#). Great ID and nice find! [81/] .
