Its not silly at all and its based on your level of expertise in the
area. Consider you have a counterfeit. You also have a Red Book with
very little collecting experience in this field. You have read little
or nothing else about contemporary counterfeits. 1734 halfpence + Red
Book + genuine halfpence mis-interpreted as a contemporary = Machins.
Since Machins is the only section in the Red Book that describes
various dated George II/III contemporary counterfeit halfpence of
this collecting field.
There is no harmful intent here. I have not viewed this coin or
description - do I have to. This is the same reason Ed that this
collector over there will go after a 1775 in XF/choice FIRST and by-
pass that 1750 cast specimen in XF that looks VG with both being sold
together at $9.99. A situation even more dreadful than yours!
Time will heal this dilemma Mr.Ed, but not in our lifetimes. Tomorrow
is another day.
