Colonials
1787 1/2 P Georgivs III, Machin's Mills Halfpenny, Vlack 17-87B, W-7910, R.2, XF40 NGC. 114.3 grains. Die alignment: 180°. A lovely piece, with rich cherry-brown coloration on both sides. Close examination of the obverse reveals some scattered marks on George's face. The reverse is splendid, with smooth surfaces and bold lettering, date, and devices. A small scratch is noted between the B and Britannia's knee, and a small planchet defect can be seen on her chest, but these barely detract. Listed on page 69 of the 2018 Guide Book.
