Description
1793 Ship Halfpenny, AU58
Musante GW-20, Lettered Edge
1793 1/2 P Washington Ship Halfpenny, Copper, Lettered Edge,
Baker-18, W-10855, Musante GW-20, R.4, AU58 PCGS. CAC. Slight
evidence of a 1793/2 overdate is noted at the bottom of the 3 on
this and all other examples of the Ship halfpenny. This Lettered
Edge variety is the usual variety according to Bowers who rates
this URS-9 (125-249 pieces) and rates the Plain Edge variety as
URS-3 (three to four examples). However, Musante calls both
varieties "very scarce" (32-127 known). This near-Mint example has
typical weakness on Washington's hair details but exhibits nearly
full cartwheel luster on its lovely medium brown surfaces with
traces of faded mint red. Listed on page 85 of the 2018 Guide
Book. Population: 20 in 58 (1 in 58+), 10 finer. CAC: 3 in 58,
0 finer (6/17).From The Don Willis Collection of US Colonial Coinage
