Description
1773 Virginia Halfpenny. Newman 22-S, W-1550. Rarity-4. Period After GEORGIVS, 7 Harp Strings. MS-63 RB (PCGS).
An outstanding example of this less common variety and one that is not found with substantial mint red with any great frequency. Fresh, attractive surfaces, the obverse with well over half its original mint color while the reverse is somewhat more toned but still has bold mint red outlining most of the detail. Faint remnants of a fingerprint are noted in the left obverse field but in general there are no marks, spots, or other imperfections of any consequence.
PCGS# 913257.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Richard Picker, July 1960; Heritage's sale of the W. Philip Keller Collection, October 2010, lot 3124.
Estimate: $1100
