A Pair of 1775-dated Counterfeit George III British Halfpence.From the Long Neck Family. The first is from Dies 3-B and weighs 122.6 grains. Fine overall, the obverse closer to VF, the reverse much weaker than that level. Full legends, those on the obverse bold, BRITAN weak on the reverse but visible, and the date is all there. An odd family, mostly sharing distinct large letter punches, and with a long neck on Britannia – though a few dies have a normal-sized neck, but are tied to the family by die sharing, a valuable lesson that a nickname for a family may not apply to ALL members of that group. Medium brown, some verdigris on either side that could likely be removed and has not eaten into the surface of the coin. The second is from Dies 6-A, with a very different looking obverse bust, though with a similar long neck on the seated Britannia, and weighs 122.0 grains. Very Fine, from a reverse die that was polished, removing some details like Britannia’s ankles and much of her feet. Dark olive, lightly rough, but with minimal marks from circulation, and quite well detailed. Two coins in the lot, the first purchased from Bill Anton in 1996, the second from Richard August in the same year.
