Thanks GT. I work a variety of parks around Sydney, and occasionally the beaches.
Theres a lot of history and a lot of parks here, so always plenty of spots to play.

Thanks very much for your advice, I appreciate it. Just out of curiosity and for educational purposes, why don't you think it's a meteorite?
And I'll definitely keep looking. I'd love to find one.

Thanks very much for the clarification Goldpick, it's much appreciated. The size definitely led me to assume it was a full penny. It's funny how they didn't have the denomination written on the coin. It's all very fascinating nonetheless.

Yeah, I found the 2019s - I've got an A and an S! Now just need to find a U ;)
Also, I'm impressed with the quality of the old coin. The reeding and thickness are highlights.
