1775 Counterfeit George III British Farthing, Tab Double Strike, Simian Family. 20.0 grains.Fine, a minor error on a very difficult denomination and type to find errors on. The first strike was centered normally, though somewhat weak at the top of both sides; this is struck medal turn instead of the normal coin turn. Struck again as a tab double strike at the lower right reverse towards 5:00, though with nothing imparted from the dies save for the tab shape. The 5 in the date is the only number that can be read, and these dies have been matched to a known 1775 Simian farthing. While not the most exciting error in this offering, any error on a Simian farthing is going to pique collector interest.
