George II 1748 Non-Regal 1/2d - Brockage Error
Offered is a fascinating reverse brockage error on a contemporary counterfeit 1748 Halfpenny, CH-1748B-1. This error occurred when a coin did not properly eject from the top die (assuming that they positioned the dies in the same manner as the Royal Mint), and was then struck against this specimen, leaving an incuse, mirror-image of the reverse. Matching Coleman’s plate nearly exactly (including the off-centering of the strike), this lovely, attributed non-regal copper is a choice piece for the specialized collector.
