Description

1773 Virginia Halfpenny. Newman 26-Y, W-1680. Rarity-2. Period After GEORGIVS, 8 Harp Strings. MS-62 RB (PCGS).
The obverse is nearly full mint red, quite flashy and problem-free. The reverse is somewhat duller and has a stain in the upper left quadrant of the shield, but still has considerable mint red and decent luster. Overall an impressive red and brown example that faces up like a coin that could be graded substantially higher.
PCGS# 913616.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Empire Coin Co. Inc. (Q. David Bowers and James F. Ruddy), August 1958; Heritage's sale of the W. Philip Keller Collection, October 2010, lot 3123.

Estimate: $1200
