Description
1795 North Wales Halfpenny, AU50
Rare Lettered Edge Variety, W-11155
1795 1/2P Washington North Wales Halfpenny, Lettered Edge, One
Star at Each Side of Harp AU50 PCGS. Baker-34A, W-11155, High
R.6. The Lettered Edge variety (PAYABLE IN LANCASTER LONDON OR
BRISTOL) is much rarer than the Plain Edge variety. A medium brown
example with nearly unmarked surfaces. The strike shows softness on
Washington's hair and opposite on the lower left portion of the
harp, characteristic of the issue. The blurry definition on the
obverse peripheral legend, and the granular texture on the reverse
field, are as made and caused by a late die state. Listed on page
84 of the 2015 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2B88, PCGS# 773, Greysheet# 297)
