Great looking finds and WTG on the Half Penny.

I found one a couple months back. It looks like mine is a counterfeit Machins Mill version. I'd be interested to see what variety your turns out to be. Hopefully Don in SJ or Iron Patch will chime in with more info for you. Congrats on a great find!

Here's a link to the coin I found with all of the information people were able to give me.

I wish I could get out, but the weather in Chicago has been pretty nasty already.

Wow! Great coins! That '19 Merc looks like it was dropped no too long after it was minted!

Way to Go!
The Halfpenny is very very cool. And silver is always in style!
Congratulations.

I am jealous though, just came in from blowing snow, for the second time in two days!

Good Luck!

Agreed, it looks counterfeit. But I have no clue on type etc.

Still interesting, I think more interesting than the coins is copying.

The clue is some of the crude lettering.
