1773 Virginia Halfpenny. Newman 27-J, W-1585. Rarity-2. Period After GEORGIVS, 7 Harp Strings. MS-62 RB (PCGS).Mottled olive-gray patina is more extensive on the obverse of this otherwise medium orange example. The reverse, is fact, is nearly in the full Red category. Peripheral denticulation is virtually absent, the tops of a few devices on the reverse flush with the border, but all design elements are fully appreciable, and most are boldly to sharply defined. Satiny luster is most lively when viewed at direct light angles, the surfaces just a bit subdued to explain the MS-62 numeric grade. Fully original and aesthetically pleasing, nonetheless, and sure to please.
