1766 Pitt Halfpenny Token. Betts-519, W-8350. Rarity-3. Copper--5/8 Inch Cracked Planchet--EF-45 (PCGS).Hard satin surfaces exhibit a blush of antique gold in and around the central reverse, other areas with warmer copper brown patina. The planchet crack is evident on both sides, originating at the lower border relative to the obverse, extending through the bottom of Pitts bust on that side and into the ships rigging on the reverse. Otherwise smooth in hand, this boldly defined Choice EF would serve as a pleasing representative of the type in many collections.From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. Acquired from Chris Victor-McCawley, September 1992.
