1772 Machins Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 6-72A, W-7720. Rarity-6. GEORGIVS III, Group I. Very Good, Porous.116.8 grains. This is a rather pleasing example of an elusive Machins Mills variety, both sides with dominant golden-brown patina. Blushes of warmer flint gray are also scattered about, especially on the reverse. Light porosity is more extensive on that side, the obverse particularly smooth in hand with only a few tiny, well scattered pits and marks. The strike is trivially off center to the lower left obverse, upper left reverse, although the only significant softness is confined to the reverse over and around the seated figure. More than acceptable for a well circulated survivor of this elusive and conditionally challenging die pairing.Collector envelope with attribution notation included.
