Description
Extremely Rare Double Stars
North Wales Halfpenny, Fine 15, Baker-35
(1795) 1/2P Washington North Wales Halfpenny, Two Stars at Each
Side of Harp Fine 15 PCGS. Baker-35. Breen-1298. Rulau and Fuld
(1998) state "7 or 8 specimens known." An extremely rare Washington
variety never seen in better circulated grades. The finest known
was graded VF30 in a December 2005 ANR auction. The present piece,
like all others seen, is softly struck and has two prominent
obverse die breaks, above the portrait and near the left border.
The four stars near the harp base are clear. The medium brown
surfaces are moderately granular and lack noticeable marks. The
PCGS Fine 15 Norweb example brought $18,400 in a November 2006
Stack's auction, and this identically graded (but less abraded)
piece may surpass that level. Listed on page 80 of the 2009
Guide Book. Population: 2 in 15, 1 finer (6/08).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# CVTL, PCGS# 776, Greysheet# 298)
