1778 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 13-78B, W-7840. Rarity-5. GEORGIVS III, Group III. VG-10 (PCGS).
108.0 grains. Choice for the grade and variety, with smooth light brown surfaces that show no serious marks or roughness. Some weakness of strike due to the advanced reverse die state as well as a planchet anomaly at the right side of the coin where some original planchet roller lines are seen. An attractive and affordable example of this rather scarce variety.
PCGS# 826954.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Chris Stevens, August 2015.
