1773 Counterfeit British Farthing, Reverse Brockage. 42.0 grains.
1773 Counterfeit British Farthing, Reverse Brockage. 42.0 grains.Fine, a well-circulated brockage, showing that in times of scarce small change, anything would circulate. The RIT of BRITAN is weak on both the struck and brockage side, likely do more to die failure in that area than strike or wear. The seated figure is sharp for the grade, and the coin displays its error nicely. Medium brown, trivial marks from circulation.Purchased from Mike Ringo at the 1995 C4 Convention, and still in his handwritten envelope.
