Losbeschreibung

1776 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 6-76A, W-7790. Rarity-4. GEORGIVS III, Large Date. Fine-15 (PCGS). An attractive and ideal example that will appeal to both type collectors and specialists. The surfaces are glossy and smooth in-hand, painted in blended chocolate-brown hues. Softness at the centers is typical for these dies, though the legends are sharp and the strike is well centered on each side. An old mark at George's forehead is well worn into the patina and fails to draw the eye. This is easily one of the most popular of all Machin's Mills issues, as 1776-dated copper is always in stronger demand than in supply. PCGS# 460. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
