Quartet of 1771-dated George III British Halfpence – two regals and two counterfeits.The regals were purchased by Neil as counterfeits from Bill Anton in 1996 and, really, should not have fooled either of those two astute numismatists as the style is good and they are well within regal weight range (122.0 and 147.0 grains); these two coins both grade Fine, the lighter-weight one with surface roughness, the heavier one both lighter in color and with better surfaces. The first counterfeit weighs 93.1 grains, and is from the Long Top Sevens family named for, you guessed it, the length of the tops of the 7’s in the date. This grades VG, with most of the legend visible, the date sharper, the reverse figure weak, and with numerous light dents and marks on either side. The final coin weighs 88.9 grains, and is clearly a counterfeit issue, but from a family that has not been identified yet, using somewhat large letter punches, and a smaller set for the date. Very Good to Fine, light brown, the surfaces rough and with circulation marks, as well as a pre-strike planchet flaw above the shield. Only a small portion of the known counterfeits have been grouped into families, but with each successive volume of the book series, another chunk will get done. Having a regal of the date in hand to compare with suspected counterfeits is quite useful. Four coins in the lot.
