If the maker was counting on people not to pay attention to the legend, same goes for the date (or the monarch). Nice piece, I'm still fishing for my first evasion coin! Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/22/2012 01:49 am If the "11" is not there, and the legends are deliberately blundered, this coin is a contemporary counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 07/22/2012 3:53 pm I didn't mean someone had missed putting "II" on the coin, I referred to KG2 as "The Second". Sometimes people feel nostalgic about former rulers. But it is not a fact that this piece was manufactured in 1771. They probably used whatever combination of dates/effigies was available on their dies. George Rules! Report this Post to the Staff
