Hello all,

I have the following coin:

 

weight: 6.59g

diameter: 28mm

Is this coin a modern counterfeit, or period non-regal piece?

There is a difference between Evasion (non-regal legends) and CCC 1/2d's. This has regal legends so its a British CCC 1/2d not an Evasion. See the list of Evasions in Atkins & Cobwright. See British & Irish 1/2d's here ---- https://www.amazon.com/Contemporary-Counterfeit-Halfpenny-Farthing-Families/dp/1642558575/ref=sr_1_1?crid=14MEFGRHTY6VA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JX5fhmyhHaI6aABLBXUR7no3O6h6soBgKW-AjAbApv0.G1xX_uZmFkO89t4llD2yfnV8KtWoK72lyI8qbIR4jmU&dib_tag=se&keywords=Counterfeit+halfpence+roger+moore&qid=1764629185&sprefix=counterfeit+halfpence+roger+moore%2Caps%2C118&sr=8-1
