1775 Contemporary Counterfeit Halfpenny. George III English Type. Double Struck. VF-30.127.6 grains. Both strikes are on-center but with a perfect 180-degree rotation between them, making us wonder whether this coin was made purposely as mint sport, much like the stupendous "clover leaf" Connecticut copper, which has 4 perfectly oriented strikes. Most of the date has been obscured, but the all important final 5 is visible from both strikes!From the Jane Collection.
