George II half penny - 1736 or 1756(??)

2 сообщений • просмотрено 456 раз
Can someone with more experience in classical British coins advise if this is a non-regal counterfeit or a crude date/overdate? Young George II type was minted from 1729 to 1739 yet the coin appears to be 1756, when copper half pennies were no longer struck. So the only explanation is that it is 1736 yet the 3'rd digit in the date really looks like 5. I looked at least couple more of the same die/date on eBay, so probably 1736 but wanted some assurance from more experienced folks. Thanks! P.S. Would it be fair to call it good fine?


Commenting only on the date, it is, indeed, 1736. What makes this clear is that the the lower curved stroke in the 3 and 5 end differently. In the 3, it curls up and ends in a flat surface; in the 5, it doesn't curve up much, if at all, and ends like a blunt spear.

The easiest way to compare them is by searching "halfpenny 1735" in Google Images as well as "halfpenny 1753".
