Description
1766 Pitt Halfpenny, W-8350, MS64 Brown
A High Grade Rarity, Just One Finer
1766 1/2 P Pitt Halfpenny, Betts-519, Breen-251, W-8350, R.3,
MS64 Brown PCGS. Chocolate-brown and medium brown toning
compete for territory across this faintly prooflike near-Gem.
Crisply struck save for the customary slight softness near the
right end of the ship and on the hair over Pitt's ear. Struck a
couple of degrees off toward 9 o'clock, but all legends are fully
intact. Remarkably smooth despite a thin diagonal line on the right
obverse field. A charming example of this early American favorite.
Population: 6 in 64 Brown, 1 finer (2/26). Listed on page 19 of the
2026 Guide Book.Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2007), lot 728; Liberty Collection of American Colonial Coinage/Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2008), lot 1907.
