Description
Pitt Halfpenny Token
1766 Pitt Halfpenny Token. Betts-519, W-8350. Silvered. AU Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).
83.2 grains. Traces of bright lustrous silvering persist at the peripheries and around the design elements, a relic of what this coin must have looked like when new. The sharpness is excellent, but the fields are quite granular and uneven, a natural byproduct of the tin-washed surface oxidizing over time. Some light brown coppery color shows on the devices on both sides. Still sharp and desirable, perhaps the most important of all American-related relics of Pitt and the era of the Stamp Act.
PCGS# 239. NGC ID: 2AUJ.
From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
Estimate: $1500
