A Quintet of Counterfeit Irish Halfpence, all the later Type III Bust Style, one undated. Included are: 1) 1775, possible Georgius Triumpho Family. 84.8 grains. Very Good, lightly rough, recolored. 2) 1781, 70.4 grains. Good/Very Good, exceedingly worn, partial legends, though the date is strong, medium brown, no major problems other than wear. 3) 1782, 129.2 grains. Fine, near-regal weight for the grade, but from notably small letter punches, and with a large gap between III and REX with a tiny dot in-between. Pleasing lighter brown, hard surfaces, and a pretty circulated coin. 4) 1782, 112.4 grains. Fine, weak at the king’s face and lower left reverse, though the date and legends are full. Cleaned, now an unnatural dark pinkish orange. 5) Undated, though either 1775 or 1776, possible Georgius Triumpho Family. 79.2 grains. Very Fine detail, weak at the top obverse and lower reverse, accounting for the date not being clear. Very dark brown, both sides with extensive pitting but strong design detail, which at least partially mitigates the surface quality. Five coins in the lot.
