1773 Virginia Halfpenny. Newman 3-F, W-1455. No Period After GEORGIVS, 7 Harp Strings. MS-66 BN (PCGS Secure). CAC.，A simply splendid example of this coin that is common in Mint State grades but decidedly rare looking like this. Original mint red is evenly distributed across both obverse and reverse, whose glossy surfaces are devoid of any carbon spots or any other impairments, for that matter. Well-centered and very well struck, with just a trifling softness at central hair curls, this piece ranks among the finest known survivors of Virginia halfpence and would make an ideal selection for a Registry Set or high end type collection of U.S. Colonials.，PCGS# 243. NGC ID: 2ATK.，PCGS Population: 7; none finer within the designation. A single MS-66 RB coin ranks as finest graded by PCGS.，From the Cardinal Collection Educational Foundation.
