Watch List notes:

Warwickshire 352. John Wilkinson. 1787. Æ halfpenny. 29 mm. Bust of Wilkinson right; IOHN WILKINSON IRON MASTER around / A man working a trip-hammer, a forge oven behind. 1787 below. Graded PCGS MS65 Brown; rich red and brown; the obverse die shows signs of repolishing (a not uncommon issue in this era when rust could quickly affect the die surfaces). Choice example of an issue that is typically found worn because it was minted for use rather than for collectors. Photographed through plastic.
