Dog called Lucky finds rare 18th century coin while on walk

A rare 18th century coin was discovered by a man out walking his son’s dog… called Lucky.

Norman Atkinson, 66, stumbled upon the George lV 1775 ha’penny on a public footpath on Highdown Hill in the South Downs.

The gardener, from Littlehampton, West Sussex, went on eBay to see how much it was worth after cleaning it up when he got home.

Had the 250-year-old coin been in better condition, he could have sold it for around £300, he reckons.

But given the wear and tear, Mr Atkinson has decided to keep it among other bits and bobs Lucky has unearthed over the year
