No worries! I've been getting back into contemporary counterfeits as of late. Do you happen to have an example of the Irish Simian obverse that pairs with the 1769 reverse?
Also, are those images from your own collection? The Duke of Yorke - Britannia example is fantastic.
Cheers,
Will

 Sorry.  Given the thread title the temptation was too great. Edited by David Graham

A new Simian pickup. The reverse die could not have survived much longer after this!  |

blargish The 18-52C is really hard to find in early die state... Here's my example! Congrats on another great coin.  |

Thanks sjkrose. I see the 52C reverse plated in the Counterfeit Halfpence and Farthing Families book is of the early state.
Still trying to familiarize myself with the different families, which is certainly easier said than done!

Another counterfeit 1/2d that caught my eye with its interesting style, as well as the raised rim (apparently modified to make the coin appear thicker than it is?) After a preliminary look through the Counterfeit Families book, a match to a specific variety or family has still evaded me. George III, 1775 Counterfeit 1/2d  |

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday... I thought I would post a newly acquired 1719 counterfeit halfpence. It's somewhat special as there are only 3 known of this variety. Enjoy!
