coppercop Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I am confused with this 166??? William & Mary Irish 1/2d...weighs in at 5.57 grams, but the lettering and overall look leads me to think non-regal counterfeit..opinions welcomed..ThanksCalvin GUSA Quote
argentumandcoins Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Another evasion piece by the look of it and nothing to do with Billy and Mary.Condition means it's too hard to pin down though. Quote

It's certainly some type of evasion but, unless anybody on here has more knowledge/experience than me, it would be impossible to pin it down. Quote
coppercop Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Ok--at least I'm not seeing double..that was in the "old days"..after a few too many pints... Quote

Where's the second head? Quote

Where's the second head?I agree. It looks more like a pre-1816 George III portrait to me. Quote

Regardless of central position on the flan I think the GIVS I gives it away as a George III coin? Quote
