1793 1/2P Washington Ship Halfpenny, Copper,
<B>1793 1/2P Washington Ship Halfpenny, Copper, Lettered Edge MS63 Brown PCGS.</B></I> Baker-18, R.3. Traces of faded mint red accompany the smooth medium brown surfaces. A couple of faint and small sky-blue spots do not distract. The reverse die was apparently not properly annealed, since all examples seen have a bulged appearance on the central reverse. However, most of the ship is sharp, and only the upper right rigging is diminished by the sunken reverse die, with a similar effect on the highest point of Washington's shoulder opposite the bulge. This is the single finest example of this coin known to either major grading service out of a mere thirteen coins to receive any Mint State grade. Listed on page 79 of the 2008 <I>Guide Book.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
