详细说明

1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. Nelson-3, W-13930. Rarity-3. VOOE POPULI. EF-45 (PCGS). Lovely golden-brown patina with marbling of copper-rose on the reverse. The surfaces are hard and satiny with a remarkably smooth appearance for a lightly circulated example of this Colonial era type. Struck off center to 9 o'clock on the obverse, 10 to 11 o'clock on the reverse, but all design elements are present on the planchet, and most are boldly defined apart from light wear and characteristic striking softness in the centers. Exceptional quality for this popular variety of the Voce Populi halfpenny, this is an earlier die state with the break that eventually closes the letter C in VOCE not fully developed. This lot includes Colonial American Coin Club photo certificate #177073 for this coin executed for member number 150 and signed by Walter Breen, a collector tag with notes about this coin's grade, and an unsigned letter dated January 9, 1976 on Colonial American Coin Club letterhead that provides historical information about Voce Populi coinage. The supporting materials are available to the winning bidder upon request to Stack's Bowers Galleries at the close of the auction. PCGS# 265. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
