George II Proof Halfpenny 1729, S-3717, Peck-832 (copper, rare), Young Bust, PR66 BN Terner PCGS, a great coin that is nothing less than absolutely superb in both strike and preservation, the surfaces a joy to look at and gleaming with ideal chocolate-brown toned luster. Under magnification, a few tiny ticks are seen here and there, but to the eye this coin is just marvelous! Stops on both sides. From the famed Terner Collection and so noted on the grading insert. Proofs from the early 18th century are rarities to be cherished as the finest of the fine, the very best representations of these classic coins. Compared to U.S. proof coins of much later vintage, they are giveaways at current market prices -- or, perhaps better to say, superb values for the money. This 1729 ha'penny is as fine as the cataloguer has seen of its type.From The Estate of John C. Hugon.

Estimate: 1500.00-2000.00 USD
