    Hi Guys,
    I checked with the Colonial Williamsburg Curator, Erik Goldstein, and this is his reply with respect to Steve's question about the dug Machin's piece:



    Hi Ray,

    - the dug 1774 1/2d is certainly a Vlack 3-74A. However, it was mis-catalogued (well before I got here) in the first print runs of said book. I have corrected it for the latest edition - too bad the old editions are still floating around for sale!

    Please feel free to pass this on to whomever.

    See you in Milwaukee?

    Cheers,

    Erik

    Nice David...thanks....I wish I knew you were going....maybe when Craig goes, he can just take a quick look at the reverse of catalog # 00239-17A, a 1774 British halfpenny found between John Crumps house and Burdett's Ordinary. According to the booklet I purchased there, because of the considerable wear, it is uncertain whether this is genuine or counterfeit. The obverse is Machin's mills 3 and should be paired with 74A, and since it is listed as 1774, I assume it is. It is plated in "The Coins of Colonial America" booklet on the 3rd case plates, coin number 83.
