Kipster Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Does this one look wrong to you? https://auctions.thecoincabinet.com/lots/view/4-HPLZOJ/1775-copper-halfpenny Quote
Paddy Posted August 17 Posted August 17 I would say a contemporary counterfeit. I don't like the shape of the forehead, nor the irregular date. Weight is about 2/3rds of the minimum indicated in Peck. 1 Quote
The Bee Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Just look at Britannia's arm or the armour on George , great fun though ! Quote
Martinminerva Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Definitely contemporary counterfeit. But they are collectable in their own right by many... Quote
Kipster Posted August 17 Author Posted August 17 I gave them a call last week to say it looked wrong, but there was noone in the department to talk to so I just left a message. Obviously nothing been done on it, so caveat emptor I suppose. Quote
