<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stevearino, post: 2719795, member: 74571&quot;]First, I wasn&#039;t sure if this should go under the World Coin forum or US Coins because of the nature of the beast.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As I understand it, non-regal half-pennies are counterfeit examples of royally-issued half-pennies that were widely used in trade in the colonies.&nbsp; My questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Are the non-regal ones primarily differentiated by their crudeness?</p><p>2. Did they also circulate freely in England?</p><p>3. Why aren&#039;t they just called contemporary counterfeits?</p><p>4. Are the Chinese counterfeiting these, also?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, fellow CTers.</p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
