Vlack Plates on Machin's Mills Halfpennies
Vlack, Robert A. EARLY ENGLISH COUNTERFEIT HALFPENCE STRUCK IN AMERICA. PHOTOS FROM COLLECTIONS OF A.N.S. – T. CRAIGE – E.P. NEWMAN – R.A. VLACK. No place of issue, 1974 [probably later emissions]. Two 8 by 10 inch glossy photographic prints. Loose, accompanied by Mike Ringo's August 1991 listing of Machin's Mills die varieties with rarity ratings. Fine. Vlack published and distributed (on a rather small scale) photographic reference guides for a number of series for which good modern illustrated guides did not exist: Vermont coppers, Massachusetts cents and half cents, Washington military and draped bust pieces, the Voce Populi pieces, and perhaps others. These may have been the most important, though they are not the best-produced (the first plate seems invariably to be a bit blurry). Ex Roger Persichilli Library.
