1789 Halfpenny of George Washington Middlesex 242 RARE Counterfeit
Extremely RARE Counterfeit Halfpenny that was struck during the 1790's. THIS COUNTERFEIT WAS LIGHTER IN WEIGHT THAN THE ORIGINAL ONE THAT TRENDS FOR 1200.00 TO 1500.00 UNC SENT TO IRELAND SO THEY WOULD NOT GET CAUGHT AND HUNG UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH FOR CONTERFEITING. COUNTERFEIT OF THAT ERA NOT A MODERN COPY. FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION.
