1733 Counterfeit George II Halfpenny. 107.2 grains.Fine, a struck example, possibly from the Quill Pen Family, which has not been fully researched or written up, and which uses large letter punches and unusual date figures as seen here. The branch on this one is not the typical Quill Pen type, and looks more like the sad Christmas tree that Charlie Brown brought home. The obverse is choice for the grade, and there is a small “horn” diebreak extending from George’s forehead. The reverse has a swarm of roughness extending from the TA of BRITAN, down over much of the seated figure’s upper body, otherwise the surfaces are a nice medium brown. A piece certainly worth further study.
