A Trio of Counterfeit George II British Farthings, one of them a mule with a George III reverse. The first is undated, probably a 1736 based on the style, though the date is not visible here, 30.8 grains. Good, only hints of the legends and date visible, dark and a bit rough, a coin that certainly spent some time in the ground. The second is a 1737 young bust, 28.0 grains, Very Good. Only traces of the legend visible on either side, though the date is strong, and the design detail is good. Brassy brown, likely cleaned in the past, with numerous nicks and light scratches from circulation. The third coin is the mule, and while only 177 is visible on this coin it has been die matched to known 1775-dated pieces. 32.6 grains, Very Good, traces of the legend, the design details sharper on either side, especially so on the reverse. Medium brown, lightly rough but not bad, and interesting with extensive die spalling visible in the right obverse field. Three coins in the lot.
