- 1787 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 21-87D, W-7970. Rarity-4. GEORGIVS III, Group III. AU-55 (PCGS). This is a sharp early die state example of the variety with outstanding technical quality. The strike is ideally centered on both sides, the denticulation complete on the reverse and approximately 50% so on the obverse. All devices are bold, the central features retaining plenty of sharp detail to the finer elements to support the impressive Choice AU grade from PCGS. Smooth satin surfaces are bathed in dominant tan-brown patina with only a few light spots that are out of the way in isolated peripheral areas. This is a challenging early Federal era copper series to collect in high grades, few Machin's Mills halfpennies of any variety that we have handled over the years possessing the quality and eye appeal offered here. Sure to see spirited bidding among astute collectors. PCGS# 469. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
