These are super fun coins! Thanks for posting

I have some limited experience in them. I have this one that is a very rare combination - only two known so far (mine and one other) from what I've been told.

 

this looks like a mule to me,must be rare,very interesting,and nice condition for issue--well done

 

Here is my George Rules 1/2 penny. Heavily circulated which just shows the extent to which these blatant fakes went around, on another note a slightly newer contemporary fake which proves counterfeits werent gone by this time
