详细说明

1773 Virginia Halfpenny. Newman 8-H, W-1490. 7 Harp Strings, No Period After GEORGIVS. AU-50 (PCGS). 116.8 grains. Deep chestnut-brown with some steel-brown highlights in places on both sides. Low magnification reveals some scattered microporosity and ticks that are mainly relegated to the obverse. A rare variety in any grade above VF; evidently N.8-H was one of the varieties that saw heavy circulation in America and a variety that was not overly represented in any of the hoards of Virginia halfpennies found over the years.
