Another somewhat crude group C die - fairly common - Here's a better example.

This is a fairly common contemporary counterfeit. J015o / I801r in my current system. It's connected to a number of other dies of various groups - it's the 7th coin in this die chain

Thank you so much for the offer! However, I have a few copies + probably another handful or more waiting in Gary's collection - so I should be covered with these types.1 point

Reverse seems to be identical to my J914r which I've seen with 3 different obverses - and now there's a fourth... While corrected punches (or errors) are fairly common with counterfeit dies, a re-engraved date (or other parts of design) is rare. It may turn out to be an important coin for understanding the use of punches within the series - So, I would very much like to have a 1200 dpi scan or a clear set of photographs of both sides.

Thank you @seuk this has been most informative! - If you'd be interested in my poor examples, please PM me your address and I'll pop them in the post.1 point

Here is the link to the other one i posted. It was one i spotted on ebay while looking around at other forgeries to see if i could find a die match to mine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2775666877481 point

This obverse is uncommon - The only other one I've noticed is in Gary's collection. Do yours have the same reverse?

Welcome to the forum @blake I don't know about the rest of your coins, but that one is definitely a replica. Gold washed copper and sadly virtually worthless. Real gold does not tarnish, so that is the biggest giveaway even before we look at the low quality of the manufacture. If you have others you are more confident of, please do post. Try to crop the pictures so we get the detail of the coin not acres of dull grey.1 point

Sad news about Gary. I never met him but heard lots of good things about him. He was born in the town i reside in. I just dug my shilling out as this post had sparked my interest. Never even noticed it before but it's got a clear overdate. 1817 over 1820. That's something i have never seen in a counterfeit coin before.
