1781 Counterfeit George III British Halfpenny, Newman 44-81E, another. 124.0 grains.Very Fine, a lovely coin which while not at the same caliber of the above coin, still merits serious collector attention. Sharply struck, with full legends, date, and all the design detail of a high-end VF, and a coin that would deserve a Choice VF grade if not for several light tics visible on the reverse rim. Those are the only problems of note, otherwise the coin is a lovely dark tan, with hard surfaces, minimal marks in the fields from circulation, and excellent overall eye appeal. Much nicer than the Syd Martin coin which a very rough, heavily scratched Fine. A rare second chance to obtain a nice example of the variety if you happen to be the underbidder on the above lot!
