[2312] Great Britain. Copper Halfpenny, 1723
<Our item number 77650><B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Great Britain.</FONT> Copper Halfpenny, 1723.</B> George I. S-3660. P-803. Second issue, same style as the famous &#34;Dump&#34; issue but the weight is distributed on a wider flan, or planchet, on this variety. The NGC grade sounds so clinical! This splendid coin is a Very Choice Uncirculated piece with glossy brown surfaces showing more than a hint of mint red luster around the letters of the legend on each side. The strike is also exceptional, and you can almost see the king&#39;s eyelashes! No planchet flaws on this beauty! However, there are some tiny rust marks &#40;raised dots of copper&#41; in the fields, and a tiny die-cut nick near the end of the king&#39;s nose. There are also some curious things to study: the &#34;E&#34; in the king&#39;s name is lacking the bottom left serif, as does the same letter in &#34;REX,&#34; where the &#34;X&#34; is double-cut at the top. Reverse: the first &#34;A&#34; in &#34;BRITANNIA&#34; has a curious &#34;comma&#34; o r V-wedge at its bottom, and the last digit of the date in the exergue is surrounded by tiny die-rust marks. All in all, a classic of its age in every respect! <B>NGC graded MS-64 Brown.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,800-2,000. <I><BR>The Cheshire Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 77650<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077650.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077650N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:brian@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
