1795 Washington Liberty and Security Halfpenny. Musante GW-48, Baker-31B

1795 Washington Liberty and Security Halfpenny. Musante GW-48, Baker-31B, W-11010. Copper. BIRMINGHAM Edge. AU-53 BN (PCGS). CAC. The surface quality is high for the collector, with satin brown fields and a touch darker brown on the lightly worn high points. The strike is a tad weak on Washington's face as well as the corresponding section of the shield on the reverse. So often these early coppers are fraught with challenges such as porosity, spotting or corrosion, not so here and a delight for the specialist who knows eye appeal. An excellent specimen of this elusive edge variety of the Liberty and Security halfpenny. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier from our Chicago ANA Auction of August 2011, lot 6128. PCGS# 758. NGC ID: 2B7S. Click here for certification details from PCGS.

Estimate:£0.74
