Washingtoniana
Circa 1795 North Wales Halfpenny. Musante GW-51, Baker-34, Breen-1295. Brass. Plain edge. AU-50 (PCGS).
27.0 mm. 94.3 grains. Lovely glossy light brown surfaces. Fairly well struck for a North Wales halfpenny, as they were intentionally poorly made. A natural flan flaw crosses Washington’s face, extending to the rim at the lower left of the truncation. Still among the more pleasing examples we have handled recently as the surfaces are usually not this choice.
PCGS# 770.
