Bonjour, Voici un 1/2 penny de 1776 provenant d'Irlande. @J'ai des doutes sur son authenticité à cause des cheveux qui me paraissent étranges, de plus le frappement est "pièce de monnaie" et non "médaille". @Qu'en pensez-vous s'il vous plaît. @MERCI !

Yes it's fake, and the hair is the most obvious giveaway. Here's a real one:

 Still could be a counterfeit. I found this > 

James Atlee. He was known for counterfeiting, and prior to working with Machin he 

made 1776 dated Georgivs III half pence. 4 things his counterfeits are known for : 

1) A very sloped forehead. 

2) Bust extending to rim. 

3) Ribbon stretching to the "G". 

4) Extended gap between "R" and "E" in REX.

Nice one. Forget James Atlee & Machins Mills. Superb Irish CCC1/2d.
