Lot 6
1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. "VOOE POPULI". NGC graded VF-30 Brown. Scarce "VOOE" variety with the C of VOCE appearing as an O. It is possible that the C was first engraved backwards, with the subsequent correctly placed C masking the original misplaced serif of the C. Perhaps the O was used twice and a C was engraved over it in an attempt to correct the mistake. Whatever the case, the present coin has light brown color with slightly porous surfaces. While struck off-center, all the lettering is present and sharp (PCGS # 265) .
Estimated Value $300 - 350.
