Description
1774 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 3-74A, W-7750. Rarity-6. GEORGIVS III, Group I. VF-30 (PCGS).
108.6 grains. An exceptionally nice example, well struck on a high quality planchet and with choice, glossy medium brown surfaces. There is none of the planchet roughness that so often plagues this variety and the series in general. A couple tiny scratches and small stain on the portrait are the only minor imperfections. Very much on par with the Partrick example, ex Mike Ringo, that was graded NGC VF-30 and realized $6,000 in Heritage's March 2021 sale. There are some marginally sharper pieces out there, but few match the overall eye appeal of the present coin.
PCGS# 826947.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Ed Sarrafian, March 2010.
Estimate: $5500
