Lot Description

1766 Pitt Halfpenny Token. Betts-519, W-8350. Rarity-3. Copper. AU-55 (PCGS). A second high quality example of this perennially popular Colonial era type, both sides exhibit a smooth, hard, satiny texture that is virtually free of blemishes. A touch of granularity is only really evident with the aid of a loupe, as are a few wispy handling marks in isolated filed areas that are even less noteworthy. Sharply defined throughout, and sure to please the discerning collector. PCGS# 236. NGC ID: 2AUH. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
