  • Lot 30005

  • Lot 30004

    Descripción:
    1773 1/2P Virginia Halfpenny, No Period MS64 Red and Brown NGC. N. 5-B, W-1410, R.6. 127.8 grains. The diameter of the flan is noticeably larger on this example than on most others. Reverse B is the only halfpence reverse with six harp strings, although Reverse A of the 'Virginia Penny' also has six harp strings. The Newman 5-B is a rare variety, and most survivors are noticeably circulated. This example is the first Mint State piece we have seen, although Roger Moore reports a finer example in his collection. Mild clashing can be seen over the laurel wreath on the obverse. The characteristic obverse die chip is visible on the back jaw line. Both sides have at least half of the original mint color with delicate blue-green toning. A small patch of old corrosion covers a few dentils at 10 o'clock, providing an excellent pedigree marker. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2,820.00.

  • Lot 30003

    Descripción:
    1773 1/2P Virginia Halfpenny, No Period MS63 Brown NGC. N. 4-O, W-1470, R.4. 121.3 grains. The same type as the preceding, with seven strings in the harp on the reverse. The O reverse is the second reverse paired with obverse 4 and is scarcer than the 4-G die combination. The Virginia Newman 4-O halfpenny appears infrequently at auction. The usual minor die sinking is noted at the A of VIRGINIA on this reverse. Lustrous olive-brown surfaces appear on both sides with a small splash of deep toning at the lower right obverse. Hints of turquoise toning appear in the hair details, and traces of faded mint red are noted on the reverse. Struck on a slightly larger diameter planchet than many other Virginia pieces. Ex: B. Max Mehl (11/1954), lot 2076; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,410.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
