1769 Contemporary Counterfeit Irish Halfpenny. George III Type. Extremely Fine, Granular.76.9 grains. An interesting type, the digits in the date are in mirror image along the lower reverse border. This is well defined piece with overall sharp detail that softens appreciably only over King Georges cheek on the obverse and through the center of the harp on the reverse. Deep olive-copper patina to both sides, the surfaces granular throughout, tiny nick in the lower right obverse field, two swirls of verdigris along the back of King Georges head.
