Description du lot

1766 Pitt Halfpenny Token. Betts-519, W-8350. Rarity-3. Copper. AU-50 (PCGS). A second AU example of this normally conditionally challenging medalet, this piece is boldly defined apart from the usual softness on the hull of the ship in the center of the reverse. The surfaces are microscopically rough, although there are no worrisome marks, leaving it to warm autumn-brown patina to dominate the in hand appearance. Certainly an above average representative of this classic early Colonial era type. PCGS# 236. NGC ID: 2AUH. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
