Comment
This coin was minted from 1771 to 1786 with "1771" frozen date in over 54 million pieces. Size and weight of coin may vary from 27 to 31,45 mm. and from 8.83 to 14 grams respectively. Many variants are present, and in Krause catalogue only the main one and the errors are considered to distinguish the great number of those variants.Note that this coin was largely used and so 99% of the coinage is in poor condition so coins in high grade are often counterfeits. These fake coin can be recognized by the raised rim and are quite always made of bronze instead of copper.
