Ever seen a slab like this one? (not PCGS)

Apparently this is the way ICG holders British contemporary counterfeit halfpennies:

For the record, I marked 'Non-Regal' on the submission form so they really weren't telling me anything I didn't already know (I doubt this could easily be mistaken for a genuine halfpenny of the Realm when instead of George III the legend reads GREGORY III)

    I like it (the coin) and the slab label. I know of 3 people actively collecting contemporary counterfeit British half pence. And suspect that there are many, many more.

    I don't understand why our hosts would holder contemporary counterfeits ... they are supposed to return them in body bags, how do they choose which to holder? Are they slabbing the British coppers only? or all cc's?

    Lochness, I meant it as a bit of a put-down. They don't get the authentication right all the time. I've seen some pretty obvious fake Mexican in both P and N holders.
