dohcollector Valued Member Belgium 464 Posts	Posted 09/19/2015 03:15 am hello CCF i have some concerns about a 1776 english penny I did some research and I found out they where counterfitted in amerika they are also known as machin mill's half penny most of you prolly know this but something is not the same on my coin the date just seems a bit off ...let me show you guys for a opinion. I know there are more varaities of the 1776 coin but I just can not acces them on the net for reference i thought I had the vlack 6-76A but I have read there is atleast this one that I can not find to compare (vlack 9-76B) so technically this is a american coin ? Nway I have been comparing against this picture that roams the net it supposed to be the vlack 6-76A now i'll add mine for comparing notice the thick 7's on mine so now I'm not shure what is wrong is it a 6-76A or 9-76B or is my fafe a fake (wich I doubt) any enlightenment, thoughts or idea's are apprciated !

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 09/19/2015 1:54 pm The dates are not the same. Look at the position of the one and where the pole points. The angle of the top of the second seven. And the spacing of 76. Report this Post to the Staff
