- 1791 Washington Liverpool Halfpenny. Musante GW-19, Baker-17, W-10650. Copper. Lettered Edge. EF-45 (PCGS). An engaging piece with glossy copper brown surfaces and bold to sharp detail for most design elements. The strike is generally well centered, although the borders are tight to most peripheral devices on the obverse, as well as the letters HALFP in HALFPENNY on the reverse. Softly struck at the top of Washington's head and in the opposing portion of the ship's hull, as typically noted in examples of this type. Minor flan flaw at 4 o'clock on the reverse border. The Washington Liverpool halfpenny, struck for collectors in England from dies by John Gregory Hancock, nonetheless saw circulation in limited numbers. This is one such piece, although time spent in commerce has hardly affected its overall smooth, satiny surfaces. Provenance: From the Crooked River Collection. Earlier from August 2017 ANA Auction, lot 113. PCGS# 698. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
