Lot 698		1793/2 Washington Ship Halfpenny with Lettered Edge Breen-1225. PCGS graded VF-35. Choice glossy chocolate brown. Great eye appeal for the grade, just a few light nicks from choice. A small vertical nick on the forehead at the hairline is a good identifying mark. MDS with the usual swelling on the reverse. Remnants of the 3 over 2 overdate feature are still visible at the bottom of the 3 in spite of minor dirt caked around that numeral. The lettered edge is noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $368
Lot 699		(1800) Washington Funeral Penny in Copper Breen-1278. Ten points sharper but there are several rim nicks on both sides, none especially distracting but far too many to ignore. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and very attractive with just a few trivial ticks here and there. Choice glossy chocolate brown with traces of mint frost remaining in some of the protected areas. Nicely centered and well struck. Weight 312.0 grains. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $253
