I've picked up a couple of pieces for my George III set:
1806 No Berries Reverse 1/2D in 66 BN for the Halfpenny variety set, it has a bit of red remaining in the devices, weakly struck IA in Britannia on reverse but otherwise quite nicely struck. I am thinking this may be signs of a failing die as under the 10x loupe you can see what appears to be the start of a die crack. This goes pretty well with my 3 Berries reverse in 66RB.
1816 6D in 65, a common coin being the first year of the "New Coinage" but with the muted toning that I like, for my George III silver type set. A normal weak strike on the reverse but the obverse quite nice.
