1773 Virginia Halfpenny. Newman 27-J, W-1585. With Period, 7 Harp Strings. MS-64+ RD (PCGS).112.2 grains. A truly remarkable survivor, with bright orange-red mint color on both sides, particularly lustrous and reflective on the reverse. The eye appeal is excellent, with only minor spotting and mellowing and no major marks. Virginia halfpence with this kind of color are very elusive. PCGS has certified only 70 Virginia halfpence as RD in all grades, with just two of those graded higher than this one (both MS-65 RD).<p><p>From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
