Lot 2206
1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny Nelson-3 Rarity-3 The "VOOE" Variety. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Frosty light chocolate brown with peeps of original mint red remaining on both sides. Nicely struck except for the centers, which is typical of the variety, but the overall strike is much better than normally encountered. Struck very slightly off center to K-10 but the legends are not affected. Struck from a later state of the dies and the break closing the C to create the "VOOE" error is bold. A remarkable example of this popular "Redbook" variety. Far superior to any of the pieces offered in the John J. Ford, Jr., sale. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS .
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
Ex James A. Stack collection, and this provenance is noted on the PCGS label.
