1773 Contemporary Counterfeit English Farthing. George III Type--Reverse Brockage--Very Fine. 46.14 grains. A bold first strike brockage, the incuse side deeply rendered. The "3" in the date is quite distinctive with its elongated tail, seen better on the brockage side than on the non-brockage side due to wear. Glossy light brown and generally mark free, this coin is a bit wavy. Farthing brockages are rare, and when seen, are usually of the obverse. Ex Julia Casey, October 14, 2012. Collector tag with provenance notation included.
