Description
High Grade MS63 Brown
1766 William Pitt Halfpenny
1766 1/2P Pitt Halfpenny MS63 Brown NGC. Betts-519,
Breen-251, W-8350, R.3. Satin luster rolls across this boldly
struck and unmarked Pitt halfpenny. Primarily chestnut-gold but
lime-green iridescence occupies the legends and rigging. Sir
William Pitt, Sr. backed the American colonies in their protests
against the Stamp Act, making him a hero for traders on both sides
of the Atlantic. This issue is curious for a small R at the end of
RESTORER, undoubtedly a last-minute addition to the obverse die to
salvage its manufacture. A mint-made slender flan crack is noted at
9 o'clock. Listed on page 48 of the 2009 Guide Book. Census:
1 in 63 Brown, 2 finer (3/09).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AUH, PCGS# 236, GSID# 63)
