Trio of 1772-dated Counterfeit George III British Halfpence, from different families, two of them not yet published.The first is 133.4 grains and is part of the large Aging George Family, which has been published in the first volume of the counterfeit book, and we leave the fun of attributing this to the winning bidder (hint, look at the position of the date numerals); this coin grades VG, the branch weak on the reverse, but the rest of the detail sharp for the grade. Light brown, and clean. The second weighs 116.4 grains and is from an unpublished family with a weak-chinned king, the obverse with a very large G compared to the R next to it in GEORGIVS, the date sloppy and with the final digit showing an extremely large loop to what is assumed to be a 2, though there is the possibility it could also be a 0. This coin is also VG, the obverse smooth and the reverse lightly rough. The third is 122.4 grains, and is from an unknown family that uses large letter punches, here with the bust showing the king’s mouth and chin somewhat sunken. Grading Fine, this well-made example would have doubtlessly fooled many at the time, especially as the 1772-dated regal coinage often had sloppily-made dies. A fun study group. Three coins in the lot.
