- 1795 Liberty and Security Halfpenny. Musante GW-48, Baker-31, W-11015. LONDON Edge. AU-50 BN (NGC). A satiny and appreciably lustrous AU example with blushes of steel-olive to dominant mahogany-brown patina. The strike is noticeably soft in the centers, although the detail sharpens considerably toward the borders. Part of the Conder token series, the Washington Liberty and Security halfpence and pennies were struck in England in 1795 and saw active commercial use there. Survivors have long been collected by American numismatists with an interest in early Federal era coinage and/or Washington-related pieces. PCGS# 755. NGC ID: 2B7R.
