A Quintet of Better-Grade 1775-dated Counterfeit George III British Farthings.Included are: 1) 67.4 grains. Extremely Fine, a heavy and well-made piece that would have likely been indistinguishable from a regal to most of the population of the time. But though the die work is good quality, it is incorrect, with a slightly bug-eyed king, Britannia holding a branch that looks like a wheat stalk, and large digits in the date, the 1 a letter J. Medium brown, choice color and surfaces, minimal roughness. 2) 62.6 grains, Very Fine, slightly off-center, which gives a partial row of large denticles on either side. Full legends and date, the branch somewhat minimalistic with just 5 tiny leaves. Lighter brown, very faint roughness, but a handsome coin, especially with the large, near-regal weight planchet. 3) 41.4 grains. Very Fine, from the same family as the first coin, with a wheat-ear branch and J775 date. Unevenly struck, most details bold, but GEOR gone on the obverse and the AN of BRITAN weak on the reverse. Medium brown, the obverse with numerous light striae and spalling, the reverse hard. 4) 36.3 grains, Very Good to Fine, slightly off-center, pushing most of III REX off the planchet, the rest of the legend and date mostly strong. 5) 32.4 grains. Nearly Very Fine, the legends and date full. George with a bit of an overbite, the reverse with the wheat-ear style branch and J775 date in large numerals. The farthings have been under-researched, and this is a good study group, in nice grades. Five coins in the lot.
