A Pair of 1774-dated Counterfeit George III British Farthings.The first is a near-regal weight of 63.2 grains, and possibly part of the Slanted Sevens Family, as both those digits are indeed slanted here. Very Good, the legends and date all there, the latter with a blob diebreak at the final digit. Medium brown, evenly rough. The second is 40.2 grains, and is part of the Topless Ordinals Family. Very Good/Poor, the reverse worn nearly indistinct save for the NI of NIA, the date, and the feet of Britannia. Lighter brown, the obverse decent, the reverse with many fine scratches, which were not deep enough to remove metal, so the weakness looks to be from die state. Two coins in the lot.
