Well, as u guys n gals brace yourselves for yet another bout of wet and windy weather, i decided to post up 2 pics of some nice georgian coins.

the first is a halfcrown, found last week. After soaking in oil and gentle cleaning, it should be silver, so i can only presume it is a forgery.

the second is a lovely obverse image of an 1871 halfpenny.

enjoy

Nice Smiley

The only Geo III halfcrown I found was a forgery, but was much further gone than your example - it's quite possible that your Geo 1/2d is a contemporary forgery too - I think about 40% of them were.
