1734 Counterfeit George II Halfpenny, Curly Haired George Family. 121.0 grains.Very Fine, a boldly struck example of a scarce family, which had a summary chapter (an introduction and illustration of some types, but not a complete variety listing) in the first volume of the counterfeit book series. This variety has a rather simple-looking king with curly hair, deeply engraved into the die, as is the reverse figure with an especially bulbous looking shield. Medium brown, the surfaces hard, but with myriad ancient hairline scratches on either side. This family is known dated 1729 (a year no regal coins were minted), 1734, 1739, 1741, and 1749. This 1734 variety was not one of the coins depicted in the Curly Haired George chapter, and while it is too early to formulate exact rarity ratings, the entire family has proven to be rather scarce.
