<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jack D. Young, post: 3050500, member: 93371&quot;]Here’s what I could dig up- working from the link, starting with the top row, the leftmost piece is probably a cc Irish halfpenny, given its apparent thinness. The top middle piece is definitely a CC halfpenny. The top right is a Machin&#039;s Mills piece, most likely 18-87C, though I can&#039;t make out the date. On the middle row, the leftmost piece is a CC halfpenny, the middle piece could be. But George II counterfeits are usually cast rather than struck. I don&#039;t see a sprue and the granularity could just be corrosion. The middle right piece I&#039;m not sure what it is, but thinking either VOC or a German States piece. I doubt if it&#039;s a counterfeit, probably a grounder. The bottom piece is anybody&#039;s guess. Looks to be a halfpenny, but that&#039;s about all I could say. Weights might help, but corrosion can make a coin light. Regal weights for Irish are around 135 grains, 152 for British.</p><p><br /></p><p>The separate image is definitely a CC.
