1773 Virginia Halfpenny. Newman 25-M, W-1580. Rarity-2. Period After GEORGIVS, 7 Harp Strings. MS-63 BN (NGC).
Traces of faded pinkish-rose mint color are readily evident on both sides of this otherwise medium copper-brown example. Well centered and otherwise bold, there is no border denticulation in places, and the planchet is lightly flawed at lower left obverse, somewhat weakening the letters G and O in GEORGIVS. A bit of light carbon to the obverse is all that appears to preclude a Choice Mint State rating for generally smooth and appealing surfaces.
PCGS# 240. NGC ID: 2ATK.
