Description
1773 Virginia Halfpenny, MS64 Red
No Period, N. 4-G
1773 1/2 P Virginia Halfpenny, No Period, MS64 Red PCGS. N. 4-G,
W-1460, R.3. Seven harp strings. Copper halfpence were struck
for the Virginia colony in London at the Tower Mint. The story goes
that a small keg of Uncirculated examples was obtained by Colonel
Mendes Cohen in Richmond, Virginia, not long after the Civil War.
Few of those pieces remain full Red today. No Period examples with
original mint bloom intact are especially rare. This orange-red and
cherry-red Choice halfpenny is sharply struck and refreshingly
unabraded. A finer example of the die marriage would prove a great
challenge to secure. Listed on page 40 of the 2022 Guide
Book. Population: 2 in 64 (1 in 64+) Red, 0 finer (7/21).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2ATL, PCGS# 245, Greysheet# 72)
