Great Britain. Proof Copper Halfpenny, 1729. S.3717; Peck-832. George II. A beautiful mid-chocolate coloured Proof from the first year of this monarch's copper coinage. Very sharply struck and with the usual edge peculiarities associated with this issue. Practically blemish free, this compares well with the Terner specimen. NGC graded Proof 63 Brown.
Peck tells us that the coining of copper was resumed by George II under a warrant dated 21 July 1729, and signed by Queen Caroline in the king's absence. Croker continued as chief engraver until his death in March 1741. This Proof halfpenny was therefore made soon after late July 1729, as a low-mintage example of the engraver's art. It is much more finely executed than the more crudely produced currency examples of the same year.
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,600.

Edge DECIMO NONO. Pleasantly toned in deep shades of blue and crisply struck, this historically interesting coin is uncirculated. Certainly free from abrasions and flaws. NGC graded MS-61.
According to the text accompanying the Millennia Collection 1746 Lima Crown, Lima marked coins were struck from Spanish bullion seized by Captain George Anson under orders from the Admiralty during his trans-global ocean voyage of 1740-1744. When 11 Spanish treasure ships captured off the Philippines were sailed back to Portsmouth and the precious metal delivered to the mint in London, Anson became the most famous admiral of his day. Anson's six warships were at sea for three years and nine months. While his crew were beset by scurvy his squadron of ships endured storms, shipwrecks and furious battles, costing him 5 ships and 1400 of his 1900 personnel. But he captured many prizes of booty, sacked and plundered the town of Payta Bay and sank or damaged a great number of Spanish ships. He captured the long-sought Spanish trading galleon La Nuestra senora de Cavadonga with a cargo of 36,000 ounces of silver, and some gold! In December 1743 he returned home to England, eventually reached the rank of First Lord of the Admiralty and was elevated to the peerage.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
