Undated George II Counterfeit Farthing, Obverse Brockage. 46.0 grains.Very Good, a well-used example from a family that has not yet been published or researched. This style of obverse bust, with very short ribbons, is most often found on 1736-dated counterfeit farthings, though other dates with this bust style are known. The lack of a reverse certainly did not hinder the circulation of this coin, and its tan surfaces show the marks expect from usage, but none are serious. Farthing errors are certainly rarer than their halfpenny counterparts, and major errors on the George II pieces are rarer still.Purchased from Mike Ringo in 1995, and still in his handwritten envelope.
