Colonials
1787 1/2 P Georgivs III, Machin's Mills Halfpenny, Vlack 18-87C, W-7930, R.4, VF30 NGC. 106.0 grains. Die alignment: 180°. Both sides are dark brown with some microgranularity and tan highlights. The obverse has a couple of small scratches to the back of George's head. The reverse is more softly struck, especially at the peripheries, but has few post-striking issues. This is the only use of the obverse die, which is fairly distinctive with its long-tailed R's. Listed on page 69 of the 2018 Guide Book.
