I bought a counterfeit 1774 Halfpenny on Christmas Eve!

I was happy to be able to add this to my George III set, been looking for one for a long time! It is not pretty, but it is a real fake.image

    I suppose that's better than being a fake real image

    But, isn't that an oxymoron image

    Maybe, but what about a counterfeit Spanish or Mexican coin from the 1700's with a face value of 1/8th dollar? That would be a fake Reale, or a Reale fake.
