Description (Isle of Man ? Penny / 1786?) Purchased from John Newman / Worthing, West Sussex, UK. (My. 27. 2023) ($60). Stamped on a very old Isle of Man halfpenny. The coin is so worn that no detail on the obverse shows. However, by close examination of the reverse design it was determined to date to c1780s, possibly 1786. In any case, the engraving was applied many years later.
