Lot 69
1776 Machin's Mills Halfpenny Vlack 6-76A Tall Date F15. Ten points sharper but there is a pinch on the edge under the shoulder and another on the edge over the X in REX, and both pinches left a slight bend in the planchet. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth, virtually flawless. Glossy chocolate and dark steel brown. The date and legends are bold. Early die state showing die clashmarks but no cracks. A decent example of this very popular year. Removed from a PCGS slab graded VF25 (PCGS label #460.25/3701615 included). Listed on page 67 in the "Redbook." Weight 120.5 grains.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
