Circa 1795 North Wales Halfpenny. Two Star Reverse. Musante GW-51, Baker-34, Breen-1294. Copper. Plain edge. VF-35 (PCGS).
27.0 mm. 92.8 grains. Glossy olive and steel brown with a slightly mottled appearance. Excellent eye appeal at first glance, with only a few scattered marks and a couple of surface deposits noted upon closer inspection. As these were made to look old and worn from the outset, what constitutes nice tends to be defined by eye appeal more than anything else, and this offers that comfortably. Obverse die broken in the left field, as usually seen.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from France, via American Heritage Minting (William Paul).
