Description

“1721” New York Penny Fantasy Re-reengraved Copper. About as Made.

Engraved over an unidentified copper, probably a halfpenny, with some smoothing of its dug patina. A wretched piece of art if a decent piece of workmanship. The obverse inscription GEORG I REX is almost as bizarre as the starburst-on-cross it surrounds.

From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, part of lot 675.
