1793 1/2P Washington Ship Halfpenny, Copper,
<B>1793 1/2P Washington Ship Halfpenny, Copper, Lettered Edge MS61 Brown PCGS.</B></I> Baker-18, R.3. Not a rare Washington piece in circulated grades, the 1793 Ship halfpenny is difficult to locate in Mint State. The strike is crisp aside from the left half of Washington's epaulet, the highpoint of his hair, and the middle sail on the ship. The reverse die is somewhat sunken, as usual. Nonetheless, the ship and sails offer pleasing definition. A lateral planchet flake is noted from the hair ribbon to the second E of PRESIDENT. Listed on page 79 of the 2008 <I>Guide Book.<BR>From The Liberty Collection of United States Colonial Coinage.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
