Nice contemporary counterfeit on the Lady, and the Adam and eve are stellar

I did not know 244 was a counterfeit?

Only the 1792 is original, I have a 93 like yours

If I remember there are also 1794 and 95 counterfeits.

Check the break on the front hoof and Indian elephant instead of African.

Oh man! When you say contemporary counterfeit, do you mean struck way later after 1793? Hope Cosmic has the option to return.

No, it was struck at the time, just not using the original dies, and they are very collectable also.

It appears that all the Warks Coventry tokens from DH 238 to DH 246 are all comptempory counterfeits and collected right along side the reals ones.

I will assume that these two are the prime suspects for letting the Eddie VII set go.

Very nice, I really like the pig on the back of the Adam and Eve.

That is one of the nicer Coventry pieces I've seen

D&H lists the counterfeits along with the real issues and both are part of the series. I happen to like the counterfeits.
