A Quartet of Regal early date George II Halfpence, all originally purchased as counterfeit. Dates are 1734, 1736, and 1738 (2). Conditions range from VG to Fine, a few with light surface roughness, all with minor marks from circulation. One of the hardest things for many collectors of the series is to figure out which George II issues are counterfeit and which are not, especially for the earlier young head types. This is not helped by the genuine coins often having somewhat crude diework in the legends and date – note the 1734 here with somewhat sloppy legends and the final digit high, or one of the 1738’s with the final digit further apart than the other numbers. Weight and planchet size are excellent indicators though – if a coin has the exact same diameter as a known regal and weighs in the regal range, it is almost always going to be genuine. Here the 1734 weighs 144.3 grains, the 1736 is a bit light at 115.2 grains, and the two 1738’s weigh 129.2 and 143.4 grains. We have found it very useful to have genuine examples to directly compare to suspect counterfeits. Four coins in the lot.
