December 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. Nelson-2, W-13820. Rarity-3. AU-58 (PCGS). Handsome medium brown surfaces with good gloss and freedom from significant marks. Considerable roughness in the planchet is evident through the centers on both sides, minor planchet fissures also noted for the right third of the reverse. While more intricate definition in the centers is obscured by the aforementioned roughness, the virtual lack of wear means that the design as a whole remains bold and fully appreciable. Nelson-2 is one of the die pairings of the Voce-Populi halfpenny that is often mistaken for the "1700" variety as the top of the digit 6 can be obscured on low grade examples. On this high grade survivor the full digit 6 is discernible, although the top is nearly lost in the exergual line below the harp. PCGS# 262. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
