Description
1773 Virginia Halfpenny, MS64 Red and Brown
Extremely Rare Newman 13-V Variety
1773 1/2 P Virginia Halfpenny, No Period, N. 13-V, W-1640, R.7,
MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. An extremely rare variety, with fewer
than a dozen examples believed known. There are eight harp strings
on the reverse coat of arms, and there is no period after GEORGIVS
on the obverse. The date numerals are large. Many Virginia
halfpence are well-worn, but a number of Mint State pieces exist,
most coming from a large hoard that was apparently dispersed into
collector channels between 1875 and 1929, per the research of Q.
David Bowers. Whether or not the current piece came from that group
is unknown, but it matches the physical description of the typical
representative -- well-struck with flashy fields that display
substantial coppery-orange luster. A few deeper auburn overtones
are observed, and close examination reveals a few tiny specks on
each side. This is an ideal opportunity for the advanced specialist
to acquire a truly rare variety in exceptional condition.Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2015), lot 3022, which realized $4,935.
