Description

1775 Contemporary Counterfeit English Farthing. George III Type--Triple Struck--Choice Extremely Fine.

41.36 grains. Seemingly double struck at first blush, the second strike being about 60% off center with a full second date visible, the obverse an indent strike. Close examination reveals a third strike beneath the centered strike, with vestiges of that strike visible at the peripheries and centers of both sides. A glossy and attractive example of a rare triple struck contemporary counterfeit.

Ex MW, June 18, 2011. Collector tag with provenance notation included.
