I think comtemporary forgery (70% sure but maybe your right with a watered down silver). Very collectable. Nice Find I haven't even had a real halfcrown of any King/Queen.

As a forgery, its rarer than the real thing.

Nice find there Dave. To you guys over there that's a new coin. To me it's almost 100 yrs older than my oldest coin (1738 King George) in 12 yrs of digging holes.
Cheers, Mike in NJ
