''1776'' 1/2P Machin's Mills, BN MS (PCGS#460)

March 2020 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1776 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 6-76A, W-7790. Rarity-4. GEORGIVS III, Group III, Large Date. Fine-15 (PCGS). This evenly patinated medium brown example is well centered on a slightly ovoid planchet. All design elements are fully appreciable, and most are boldly outlined, although we do note a touch of softness to the letters in REX on the obverse and NIA in BRITANNIA on the reverse. The all important date is clear. A few light pits on both sides and a couple of wispy handling marks on the reverse are noted solely for accuracy, as none of these features are out of context for the assigned grade. The 1776 is a historically dated issue in the Machin's Mills halfpenny series that is perennially popular with American collectors. PCGS# 460. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
