1756 Counterfeit George II Halfpenny. 114.6 grains.Very Good, an acceptable example of a scarce non-regal year, one in which no genuine coins were produced by the Tower Mint. The legends and date are all there, a few letters weaker than their neighbors. Darker brown, the surfaces with a light, even roughness to them. It is possible this is a contemporary cast, though there is no evidence of a casting port. Either way it is definitely a counterfeit but may be even more interesting if a cast, making it a counterfeit of a counterfeit!
