Great information, I have a holed Pitt halfpenny with some silvering remaining. Wish I had a non holed example but that is what put it in my...
Yes, unfortunately it is a fake. There are so many copies of early American coins around, they definitely out number the genuine pieces!
It is one of the so called "farthings" with the "quiescat plebs" legend. The larger halfpenny reads "ecce grex". Although it seems to be...
There is a short section on the history and circulation of counterfeit halfpence, including some good info on Machin's Mills. There are...
I guess it depends on the level of your interest in circulating counterfeit British coins. It is not one of my more used books on colonials, but...

OK, I don't know gold very well but you seem to be getting anxious so I'll throw my two cents in. I see what appear to be raised spots that make...
Rough and ready, don't know the value if any. It was part of a set of presidential medals,probably promotional,for what I don't know. I found a...
Nice one, the RR13 is one of my favorites with it's connection to the counterfeit British halfpence.

Sure they were crude, look at the photo of the original that you posted. Do an image search and look at other originals. Take some time and...
I would say yours is a fake. The originals were crude, the one LostDutchman posted is a copy. Do an image search for an original and compare the...
