- 1723 1/2P Rosa Americana Halfpenny, Uncrowned AU55 NGC. Martin 3.5-E.1, W-1232, R.4. Seen far less often than the Crowned Rose reverse, this colonial type is absent from many specialized collections. This example is well-defined and struck on an undamaged planchet, unusual for this era. A trifle uneven along the rims, but generally a well-produced specimen free from any obvious signs of circulation or mishandling. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $6,462.50.

- 1722 1/2P Rosa Americana Halfpenny, VTILE DVLCI VG10 NGC. Martin 1.1-A.1, W-1214, R.5. The obverse legend is GEORGIUS.DEI .GRATIA.REX. On the reverse, it is ROSA AMERI:VTILE.DVLCI.1722. The reverse die is the same as Norweb: 2396, with the straight die break near the L in VIILE. This example is well centered, all of the legends are full, and it has deep red-brown patina with rust-colored accents noted mainly near the reverse borders. There is mild porosity seen in some of the fields, and the rims are uneven and imperfectly produced on both sides, due to apparent die erosion. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $763.75. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1694 TOKEN Carolina Elephant Halfpenny, PROPRIETORS XF45 NGC. Hodder 2-F, W-12120, R.6. 143.4 grains. Three basic versions of the Elephant halfpence are the London, Carolina, and New England varieties, all sharing a common obverse design. Each is important in the field of American colonial coinage, and all three are recorded in the Betts reference on historical American medals. Although some have questioned the American connection of the London pieces inscribed God Preserve London, there is no doubt of the connection between the Carolina pieces and the American colonies. It is believed that all dies for the Elephant coppers were engraved by the famous Rottier family who worked at the Royal Mint. The Carolina pieces are usually identified from two reverse dies, the first with the misspelling PROPRIETERS and the second with an O punched over the E to correct that spelling. Although described in most references as different dies, the placement and shape of all lettering is nearly identical, suggesting that a single reverse die was corrected after a small production of the misspelled pieces. The rarity of the PROPRIETERS pieces is due to the misspelling, while the rarity of the corrected die coins is likely the result of a die that soon shattered and broke apart. This remarkable example, a pleasing Choice XF Carolina Elephant token, has smooth, problem-free surfaces that display a lovely blend of tan and dark chocolate toning, with excellent centering and minimal marks. While there is no detailed census of this variety, the majority of pieces appearing in auctions over the last two decades fall in the VG to VF range. XF or finer examples, such as the Eric P. Newman coin, are extremely rare. Ex: B. Max Mehl (11/1954); Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $47,000.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1694 TOKEN Carolina Elephant Halfpenny, PROPRIETERS, Fine 12 NGC. Hodder 1-E, W-12100, R.7. 147.6 grains. The Carolina Elephant tokens share the obverse die with the London pieces, and carry the 1694 date on the reverse. That combination of dies allows the estimated 1694 production date for the pieces inscribed GOD : PRESERVE : LONDON. Perhaps seven or eight examples of this variety are known today. Breen recorded eight, but his number 3 (Newman) and number 7 (Brand, Futter) are apparently the same coin, offered here. Only three examples were known in 1954, according to B. Max Mehl in his catalog of the Rovensky and Hoffecker Collections. Mehl wrote in part: {blockquote}"This coin was exhibited at a meeting of the New York Numismatic Club at which meeting there was an English Professor, a Dr. Duncan, who verified the statement that the coin was gilded contemporaneously and stated that at the period this coin was made in England it was not unusual to have the coins gilded for presentation purposes. The eminent New York numismatist, Harold Bareford, verified this statement."{/blockquote} This pleasing piece has mahogany and steel-brown surfaces with lighter brown color on the worn devices. Traces of greenish-yellow patina appear on both sides, while yellowish-orange in the protected areas remains from the gilt finish. The American colonial triumvirate, including the two Carolina varieties and the New England variety, ranks among the most famous pieces from the early American colonial era. Ex: Virgil Brand; Brand Estate; B. Max Mehl (11/1954), lot 2049; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $30,550.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
