[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1802426, member: 75105"]I know what the "dump" issues are, however, the dump issued halfpennies were only 1mm smaller than the regular issue and had the same weight. Basically a slightly thicker planchet with no change in weight. I read counterfeiting did exist in that time frame. I've looked at dozens of worn halfpennies and farthings, and mine almost has a brassy look to it. Is it possible were looking at a contemporary counterfeit?[/QUOTE]
