Description
GREAT BRITAIN 1775 Double Struck Counterfeit Halfpenny graded by CCCS as F15
Okay, we have used the word counterfeit, and while we do not sell counterfeits used to deceive collectors we certainly sell contemporary counterfeits that were made to deceive the public in the 1700 and 1800s. More than half of the coinage in circulation in 18th century Britain was counterfeit. The terms Blacksmith, Bungtown, Evasion and non-Regal are all terms referring to counterfeits.
