Lot 34
1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. "VOOE POPULI". PCGS graded AU-53. A particularly lovely example of this colonial issue, the planchet is clean and fresh, and toned a pleasing light tan color. The legends and devices have minor verdigris from brief circulation, and this gives the coin an enhanced definition and medallic appearance. Excellent surfaces that show only trivial signs of handling or circulation, and we feel that most collectors will love this coin for its color and surfaces. The engraving error of VOOE instead of VOCE is quite clear, and quickly identifies this particular variety. It appears the C was engraved backwards, or engraved over an errant "O", as the serif of the C is plain in the location where it belongs. PCGS has only graded 3 above this one, two of which are in mint state. A rare and desirable issue this nice.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200.
