Counterfeit KGII Halfpenny?? few other colonial finds today!

[umrgolf]

Hello all, I went to the site where I've gotten a few of the cut spanish silvers I posted last week. My first nice target of the day was the KGII halfpenny. Something is not right about this coin though, it only reads a 60 on my F75 and a 37 on my partners E-trac.. much lower than it should.. The date appears to be 1774?? Ive looked and i thought they stopped making them in the 1750's. I'm not sure what is goins on with this coin! haha.. anyway, got a couple nice buttons and the arrowhead shaped brass item?? hmm odd day I guess Jeff

Ok hogge, I will be off work a lil later, I'd like to find out for sure if this coin is cft, like i said earlier this coin reads below a zinc penny.. its just seemed weird from the get-go.. my pard dug a 1751 kgII last month there and it hit like a large cent (just below a quarter) .. anyway, ill pick up some peroxide later and maybe you could give me some tips.. would be much appreciated Jeff
