- 1795 Liberty and Security Halfpenny. Musante GW-48, Baker-31B, W-11010. BIRMINGHAM Edge. AU-50 (PCGS). A generally deep copper-rose example with intermingled blushes of autumn-orange on the reverse. Uncommonly well struck for the type, although we do note a bit of softness to the detail toward the upper obverse and lower reverse borders. Nicely preserved and free of troublesome blemishes. Although the BIRMINGHAM Edge is one of the more frequently encountered varieties of the Washington Liberty and Security halfpenny, the type as a whole is scarce and more challenging to collect than its penny counterpart. PCGS# 758. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
