Undated (1795) Washington North Wales Halfpenny. Musante GW-51, Baker-34

Undated (1795) Washington North Wales Halfpenny. Musante GW-51, Baker-34, W-11150. Two Stars. Copper. Plain Edge. AU-58 (PCGS). 98.5 grains. Medium autumn-orange brown with a hint of deep oxblood-red at Washington's shoulder. Struck from purposely worn dies to give the type credence as having been in circulation for a lengthy visit. The fields of the present coin are filled with raised die lines that faded quickly with use. Choice for the grade, especially given the nature of this issue. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier from Abner Kreisberg's sale of April 1959, lot 1207; later, Ted L. Craige; our sale of the Ted L. Craige Collection, January 2013 Americana Sale, lot 11522. PCGS# 770. NGC ID: 2B87. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
