1795 Washington Liberty and Security Halfpenny. Musante GW-48, Baker-31

1795 Washington Liberty and Security Halfpenny. Musante GW-48, Baker-31, W-11015. Copper. LONDON Edge. AU-58 (PCGS). Steel-brown patina with hints of chestnut and deep rose. There is some muting to the finish, obverse with some marks on the portrait, these attributes pointing to minor handling. The high points of Washington's bust and the eagle on the reverse are softly struck, latter area retaining original planchet roller marks. This is one of the more frequently encountered edge varieties of the Musante GW-48 attribution, and this Choice AU example will nicely represent the Liberty and Security halfpenny in a high grad type set. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of the Joseph M. Seventko Collection, January 2002 FUN Signature Sale, lot 5204. PCGS# 755. NGC ID: 2B7R.
