Description

“1785” Carolina Halfpenny Fantasy Re-engraved Copper. About as Made.

A "whatsit" style engraving atop a George II halfpenny. The obverse inscription of CAROL / INA is fairly neat around George's head. INDE ET LIB and the 1785 date are evocatively familiar and make this worth including in a collection of Connecticuts or Vermonts. A modern pit is noted within the R of CAROLINA.

From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, part of lot 675.
