No Date. Contemporary Counterfeit Farthing. George III English Type. Obverse Brockage. EF-40.50.6 grains. Glossy, steely brown surfaces exhibit just a few minor marks of circulation. A crisp, early stage full brockage strike of the obverse, struck on a flan exhibiting a small curved clip and a beveled rim near III REX. Contemporary counterfeit farthings represent a minuscule fraction of Georgian counterfeits, and brockage farthings are very rare within that small population of farthings. We anticipate much bidding activity before the fall of the auctioneers hammer.From the Jane Collection.
