1751 Counterfeit George II Halfpenny, Defiant Head Family, Dies 11-51B. 130.0 grains.Fine, another coin from the Defiant Head family, though from different dies than the above, but showing the strong stylistic similarities mentioned. The legends and date are full, the obverse design details stronger than the grade assigned. Darker brown, the surfaces with a light, even roughness that isn’t too bad. From the first C4 sale in 1994, where this appeared as Lot 566, where it was graded a full VF, though we think it just misses that mark. No lot ticket from that sale, but easily plate matched.
