Hey Paddy, wow...another contemporary forgery....I did wonder as yes it looked the wrong colour....it was one of Grandads hoard so not sure he was caught out by this or just chucked the collection, if nothing else it will be a talking point...many thanks Paddy for all the input.....Rgds "H"1 point

Definitely so. The crude, porous surface is proof of this (probably due to a high zinc content).1 point

I would suggest the 1816 is a contemporary forgery in pewter. The colour looks all wrong for Silver, and the wear is excessive. (They were often made ready worn to disguise any imperfections.)1 point

Having issues with this forum - thus the multiple posts. Attached is the front cover of the May 2025 Numismatist which highlights the pattern. The Numismatist has additional images and a better detailed table than the Coin News article. Both articles provide good information, however.

Correction, the May 2024 article was in the Numismatist and not Coin News.1 point

I believe that you are talking about Marsh 125H, which was highlighted in the Coin News articles by Steve in January 2023 and May 2024 editions. the Noble auction lot is attached
