Colonial Copper coins Question

[treasurechicNH]

Iv found several Colonial Copper coins (Georgivs Rex, 11 and 111 Britannia) In my redbook they are shown facing to the right, yet most of mine face the left. I read that these were counterfeited alot but find it hard to believe that these are all counterfeit from different locations did the make them facing the left?

George II faces left, George III faces right.

Chances are most are counterfeit and it's most likely George II you have, but not impossible to have a coin with the king facing the wrong way. You should post some pictures.

With each change of British monarch they switched the direction the head faced so you may have no worries.

Not always the case for counterfeits and considering they are more valuable they can be worth the effort, and ID without a picture is just a guess. Maybe a good guess based on %, but a guess none the less.
