i haven't found  any hammered forgeries that i know of,  but lots of georgian silver,  they were quite common as gold and silver was in short supply in the 1700s
 besides the sixpence and shillings i also have 2 x dollar forgeries which were brought in to help us out with coinage at the time,  some were over stamped with george the 3rd head
