Lot Description
1795 Grate Halfpenny. Musante GW-49, Baker-29, W-10990. Large Buttons. Copper. Lettered Edge. MS-62 BN (PCGS). Handsome antique copper surfaces with bold striking detail in virtually all areas of the design. A concentration of wispy handling marks in and around the central reverse is noted for accuracy, but the in hand appearance for both sides is pleasantly smooth. Scarce, since most Large Buttons Grate halfpennies have a reeded edge. PCGS# 743. NGC ID: 2B7K. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
