The Obverse side of this counterfeit 1781 Irish Halfpenny is one of the best conditioned old coppers on the Obv side I have but what is cool about this lightweight counterfeit is how they used a G instead of a O in GEORGIVS, but then corrected that.

Those were actually counterfeited quite a bit, maybe the most for early British silver.
