Colonials
1787 1/2 P Georgivs III, Machin's Mills Halfpenny, Vlack 17-87B, W-7910, R.2, VG8 NGC. 105.0 grains. Die alignment: 150°. A good piece for demonstrating the degree to which the economy of the early Republic was dependent on these hard-working imitation halfpennies. This well-circulated example retains decent detail for the grade, with a rather clear date and figure of Britannia. Listed on page 69 of the 2018 Guide Book.
