1775 Counterfeit British Halfpenny, Double Struck, Linear Design Family. 121.5 grains.Choice Very Fine, a bold double strike, the second strike about 25% off-center towards 7:00, and slightly rotated. The original legends at the left were mostly erased by the second strike, though there are two sets of ordinals on the obverse, and two full dates on the reverse. The Linear Design Family has not yet been published, and while similar in style to the Young Heads, though the hair strands on the obverse bust and the dress that Britannia wears are made up of deeply cut lines of the sort a caricaturist would use. The reverse shields on this family are also often squared-off and a bit lopsided in appearance. Choice light brown, the surfaces hard and with minimal marks, which make for a lovely, eye-catching major error.Purchased in 1998 from another departed friend, Don Valenziano.
