I was unable to find any other 1775 <i>U.S.</i> <i>Colonial evasions</i> / <i>contemporary&nbsp; counterfeits</i>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I dug up an image from Spinks that shows a regal&nbsp; halfpenny.&nbsp; I sort&nbsp; of suspect that your coin may be an evasion.&nbsp;&nbsp; Brittania and the lines in her shield look a bit funny to me.&nbsp; Per&nbsp; diagnostics, the way that the shield lines look can be an indicator of&nbsp; an evasion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://www.coinarchives.com/8e7ddcf6558c964a34c91e20ab8b80b9/img/stacks/stacks_jan10/image00800.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><font size="1"><i>Photo Courtesy Stack&#039;s, CoinArchives.com</i></font></p><p><br /></p><p>As per your Danish 1/2 Skilling specimen, I checked a vendor&#039;s&nbsp; pricing in Norway, and they have a <i>1- grade</i> (ab.
