- Great Britain--Middlesex. Undated (1790s) End of Pain Halfpenny Token. D&H-831, W-8992. Copper. Plain Edge. MS-63 BN (PCGS). A predominantly autumn-brown example with original pale pink color outlining many of the design elements on both sides. Satiny and hard overall, a few shallow flan flaws are evident around the steeple on the obverse, swirls of ancient surface scale over the lower left reverse. Related to American colonial types due to the fact that Thomas Paine's writings helped to inspire the American Revolution. The English writer was born in 1737 and died in New York City in 1809, having emigrated to America in 1774 at the invitation of Benjamin Franklin. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
