XF45 1795 North Wales Halfpenny
Very Rare Lettered Edge Variety
1795 1/2P Washington North Wales Halfpenny, Lettered Edge XF45
PCGS. Baker-34A, Breen-1296, R.7. The Lettered Edge variety
(PAYABLE IN LANCASTER LONDON OR BRISTOL) is much rarer than the
Plain Edge variety. A smooth chocolate-brown Halfpenny with the
expected indifferent strike. Light wear on Washington's face and
shoulder confirms brief circulation. Late in life dies exhibit
breaks behind the head, at 6 o'clock, and from the second E in
GEORGEIVS. The legend is fading into the field due to a sinking
obverse die. Listed on page 80 of the 2008 Guide Book.Ex: Oak Collection of American Colonial Coinage (Heritage, 9/05), lot 481, which realized $14,490. (NGC ID# 2B88, PCGS# 773)
