Losbeschreibung

1775 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 4-75A, W-7780. Rarity-4. GEORGIVS III, Group I. Fine-15 (PCGS). 106.7 grains. A scarce example showing predominantly olive-green hues with darker walnut shades scattered throughout. The complexion is somewhat glossy in hand, though a faint microgranular texture shows to the surfaces under scrutiny. An area of darker patina surrounding the numerals III at the upper obverse remains reasonably composed beneath a glass. The strike is well aligned, displaying the typical softness at center but remaining nicely defined in the peripheries. An attractive piece. Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68. PCGS# 457. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
