Thanks, Alan. I really don't think it is a counterfeit, but thought
it worthy of checking. I've seen several Hibernias offered as
contemporary counterfeits, but don't think they are. Most are just
very late die states, often with porous surfaces from environmental
exposure. Some are modern fabrications (generally cast, some
electro). If you were a counterfeiter (e.g., in Bristol), why would
you counterfeit a Hibernia, given their undesirable status, low
profit potential, etc. Plus, plating brass doesn't sound cheap
(multiple production steps), and the metal costs are about
equivalent. My analysis suggests that Wood was making very little
(in fact, probably losing) on each coin made, so there would not be
any real financial incentive to counterfeit. But . . . who knows,
the piece is curious, and worth a look. (I call my purchases like
this "Colonial Coin Lottery" buys!) Syd
