like i said in the description and imitation is just a equal to the original that is why i put 2 pics up from the 2015 red book

Interesting. So the imitations were still minted in the 1700's. Given the time frame, I'd guess the American revolutionaries needed coinage so imitated the British currency. Very cool.

Yes indeed stamphound..Imitations were common used and very well manufactured it is hard to tell them apart...this one has no dentils at border and the 1 in date is straight no curved as on original..that said they are both equal in value especially in this grade...thanks Carl
