A Trio of Undated George III British Halfpence. Though all have been matched to known specimens dated 1775, all from the Simian Family. The first is 79.8 grains, Very Fine, though much of the king’s face is indistinct due to die failure. Struck slightly off center towards 11:00, which pushes most of the IS of GEORGIVS and the first two ordinals off the planchet, but does give a bold row of denticles at the bottom; the strike pushes the date off as well, with just the tops of the two 7’s still visible. The obverse die failure and large diebreaks through RIT on the reverse made this one easy to match up. Medium brown, hard surfaces, generally pleasing. The second weighs 74.6 grains and is Very Fine but rough, more so on the reverse. There is a large diebreak diagonally across the seated Britannia, which made it easy to match to a known specimen with a full date. Dark brown, a few light planchet flaws on the king’s face, but not too bad. From the 1995 C4 Convention sale, where this was lot 584. The third is 88.8 grains, Fine, lightly but evenly rough, the legends full with just the A of NIA weak, the 177 of the date there, the last digit gone. The Simians were considered quite rare a couple decades ago, and generally brought strong prices – which was noticed by British collectors and dealers who began sending a lot of them over, completely destroying the Anton-Kesse contention that these were “Crude American†pieces. Three coins in the lot.
