Lot 9
1688 (1828) Holt American Plantation 1/24 Real or Halfpenny Restrike Breen-78. NGC graded MS-62. Medium gray with frosty light silver toning covering the protected areas on both sides. No corrosion or "tin pest" which is quite often found on these pieces. No contact marks, but it was struck slightly off center to K-3. These restrikes were struck by Matthew Young in London circa 1828 using a pair of original dies, but the restrikes are easily identified thanks to the die crack that arcs through the legend before the horse. Listed on page 41 in the "Redbook."
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
