- 1772 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 7-72B, W-7730. Rarity-6+. GEORGIUS III, Group I. Fine-12 BN (NGC).
Deep charcoal-copper patina blankets both sides, although the surfaces are pleasingly smooth in hand and uncommonly well preserved for the variety. An ancient scratch across King George's cheek is the only mark of note, and a bit of light roughness here and there is mentioned solely for accuracy. The strike is well executed with plenty of bold detail remaining to the major design elements. This is the only die pairing of 1772 Machin's Mills halfpenny with the incorrect U in the Latin legend GEORGIUS III REX, and this is a particularly appealing and well balanced example of the no more than 30 pieces thought to survive.
PCGS# 929. NGC ID: 2B3X.
