1773 Virginia 1/2P No period GEORGIVS PCGS MS63 RD
Bright mint red toning to steel brown on the highpoints, 80% of the original mint color remaining. There is a small splash of chocolate brown toning in the field under the bust and some microscopic specks of dark toning sprinkled about the reverse, but overall this is a choice, highly lustrous example. Conservatively graded by PCGS. Most likely from the hoard discovered prior to 1803 in the form of a keg of mint fresh examples. Variety with 7 harpstrings. Virginia halfpennies have the distinction of being the only fully authorized coins struck in England specifically for use in the American Colonies.
