Description
1773 Virginia Halfpenny MS 65 Red. Period After GEORGIVS. While the condition of Virginia halfpennies is uncommonly high for a Colonial issue, with many pieces in uncirculated and many retaining the original red luster, this piece is undoubtedly the finest example we can remember having seen. Struck on a highly polished planchet prior to striking, the coin has an exceptional brightness and freshness of color that is truly amazing. The bright red color is accented by a slight brown only on the highest portions of the design elements on each side. Showing an unerring eye for quality, the consignor, David M. Faraday, purchased this coin from the Little Mint of San Francisco on November 7, 1967 for the princely sum of $75! Listed on page 24 of the 1994 Guide Book.
