Question
i saw that another person has a 1707 coin ours has the date stamped in the edge which is wide and the other side does have the word george on its wide edge and the face of george facing right where can i look to see if i can find another or a picture to compare

Answer
Hi William, I think this is likely a 1797 'cart wheel' penny or two pence (determined by size) as King George III reigned 1760-1820.
Here's a site that has pictures and more info:
