A Quintet of 1775-dated Counterfeit George III British Halfpence.All from known families. Included are: 1) Simian, 80.0 grains, Fine, sharper but with significant roughness on both sides. Late die states with multiple cuds at the lower obverse, and a diebreak connecting the TA of BRITAN on the reverse. 2) British Toon Head Family, Dies 1-75A, the same type as the coin offered in an earlier lot, 104.8 grains. Very Good, likely sharper but weak at upper obverse/lower reverse. Light brown, the surfaces with significant pockmarks on either side, which add an extra level of crudeness to the coin. 3) Wedge Top Sevens Family, 117.8 grains. Very Fine, well-struck, legends and design details strong for the grade, the date full and clearly showing how the family nickname was acquired. The reverse cracked through Britannia’s head, with notable die swelling in the field above the branch. Chocolate brown, wholesome and pleasing. 4) Young Head Family, Closed G’s, 117.6 grains. Very Fine, weakly struck at the centers as often found on this family, though on a heavier planchet than usually seen. Full legends and date, good design detail, the reverse with a large diebreak through Britannia’s head, the obverse with roughness at the weakly struck area. Medium brown, nice enough for the grade. 5) Young Head Family, Open G’s, 71.8 grains, a more typical weight level for the family. Very Fine, from exceptionally late die states on both sides – the obverse with heavy die swelling at the left, causing GEORGI to appear incuse, as the field was literally raised around the letters, and a die chip in the field in front of the king’s chin. The reverse has a large cud right atop Britannia’s head, making her appear to be wearing a large hat. Despite the advanced die states, the legends are full and the detail is strong, and the coin is an attractive medium olive with minimal marks. Five coins in the lot, a good starter set of different family types for the date.
