November 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: The Norweb Nelson-11 Voce Populi Halfpenny 1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. Nelson-11, Zelinka 14-C, W-13960. P Below Bust. AU-55 (PCGS). 126.4 grains. Last offered in 1988, where it was called an “Outstanding 1760 Halfpenny” and graded AU-50 in a catalog where most then-AUs are today’s Uncirculateds. “Pleasing, rich chocolate brown,” as described in the Norweb sale, “fully struck and well centered for the variety.” The date and legends are complete, and most of the denticles are present on both sides. The centers are fully struck and no problems are noted. This variety is one of the more well designed and handsome Voce die marriages, and it is rarely found finer than this. It’s certainly rarely found with a better provenance. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier purchased by Mrs. Emery May Norweb from the New Netherlands Coin Company on August 21, 1955; our (Bowers and Merena’s) sale of the Norweb Collection, Part III, November 1988, lot 3416.
