middenmess Valued Member United Kingdom 107 Posts	Posted 04/13/2009 7:55 pm 1774 George III Halfpenny--complete with grime! Is that a die Fault To 'X' of 'REX' or is there another explanation? Whilst the lettering is strong and raised with very little sign of wear the head of Brittania is very worn--was this a result of a weak strike,a worn die or something else?
