1773 Virginia Halfpenny. Newman 26-Y, W-1680. Rarity-2. Period After GEORGIVS, 8 Harp Strings. MS-64 RB (PCGS).
An appealing near-Gem example of this popular colonial type. Attractive surfaces that are fully lustrous and retain a good majority of their original red color. With a sharp strike, minimal spotting, and no consequential marks, this is a well above average specimen.
