<Our item number 104503><B>1796 Myddleton token &#40;pattern Halfpenny?&#41; in Copper. Breen-1074 Rarity-7. PCGS graded Proof 64 Red & Brown.</B> Lustrous bluish steel brown with mellowed mint red covering the protected areas on both sides. The fields, while nearly pristine, are not as reflective as those seen on the silver strikes, and traces of very fine die rust on both sides suggest the copper strikes were made later than their silver counterparts. Nonetheless, this piece is beautiful. The artistry and execution evident in these dies are truly superior. The only mark on this piece is a faint hairline scratch in the field under the H in BRITISH. No spots, stains, or other defects. While the copper strikes are decidedly rarer than the silver ones, they usually sell at similar levels. <B> PCGS population 2 with none finer.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;15,000-30,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 104503<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/104503.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="h ttp://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/104503N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
