Description
1766 Pitt Halfpenny, MS63 Brown
W-8350, Conditionally Rare
1766 1/2 P Pitt Halfpenny MS63 Brown PCGS. Betts-519, W-8350,
R.3. A splendid chocolate-brown example of this popular Early
American token. Thorough evaluation fails to locate any
grade-limiting marks or carbon. A subtle gray spot above the middle
right side flag is mentioned solely to provide an identifier.
Crisply struck, with slight softness only near Pitt's covered ear.
Known as "The Great Commoner," Sir William Pitt spoke in Parliament
against the Stamp Act, a tax on trade with the American colonies.
The much-maligned Stamp Act was repealed in 1766, and Pitt
farthings and halfpennies were issued shortly later. Listed on page
47 of the 2024 Guide Book.Ex: Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 5005; Houston Signature (Heritage, 11/2012), lot 3023.
