Lot Description

1775 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 4-75A, W-7780. Rarity-4. GEORGIVS III. Fine-15 (PCGS). 106.6 grains. Choice chocolate brown with nearly smooth surfaces. Two minuscule old marks right of Britannia on the reverse and a tiny rim nick at 3 o'clock on the obverse still leave this about as problem-free as a Machin's of this grade is apt to be. Very nice eye appeal. PCGS# 457. Provenance: From the John "Jack" Royse Collection. Earlier from McCawley-Grellman's 2000 C4 Auction, November 2000, lot 95.
