1775 Counterfeit George II British Halfpenny, Coin W Family Mule with George III reverse. 114.0 grains.Fine to Very Fine, probably of the higher grade in terms of wear, the high points of the obverse bust very flat, and the center reverse weak as well. A mule, with a left-facing bust of George II, with a 1775-dated reverse of his grandson, George III. The legends and date are full, the letters at the left tight to the edge of the planchet, but all there. The distinct obverse bust has good detail in his armor and ribbons, flat elsewhere, while the reverse figure has some drapery detail and most of the branch strong. Medium brown, light nicks and marks from circulation, the center reverse showing the rough original planchet quality in the weak area. Like the Coin Z Family piece above, this family was named after having an example plated in Peck’s work on British coinage. In the first volume of the counterfeit book it is stated that there is only one variety, dated 1751, but a plausible case was made that a 1756-dated piece and this 1775-dated mule were also family members, and the 1775 is actually likely a double mule, not just the GII/GIII type, but also a mule using a Coin W obverse with a Wedge Topped Sevens Family reverse.Quite scarce, from the first C4 Convention auction in 1995, where this appeared as Lot 587.
