Losbeschreibung: 1778 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 11-78A, W-7820. Rarity-3. GEORGIVS III, Group III--Double Struck--Fine-15 (PCGS). A visually dramatic error, the second strike is largely off center and shows just the letters EORG from the obverse impression positioned at 3 o'clock relative to the primary strike. The second strike is a brockage with no detail from its reverse impression, although a trace of the letter I from the first strike is discernible within the distended portion of the reverse at 3 o'clock. Microgranular overall with no sizeable marks and rich toning in blended copper-rose and medium brown. The detail from the primary strike is soft in areas due to wear, the major features generally bold, especially on the reverse. Provenance: From the Harold Hauser Collection. PCGS# 466.
