Colonials
1778 1/2 P Georgivs III, Machin's Mills Halfpenny, Vlack 11-78A, W-7820, R.3, VF30 NGC. 101.3 grains. Die alignment: 150°. A strong example of this variety: a bit soft toward the peripheries (as often seen), but with good detail to the central devices. George's bust is nicely represented, with crisp hair, a full face, and carefully designed mail. Britannia's tunic is well delineated, and the Union Jack shows fully on her shield. Intermittent surface roughness is noted, heavier on the reverse. A well above-average example of this variety, which constitutes the only use of either die. Listed on page 69 of the 2018 Guide Book.
Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
