Lot Description

1795 Grate Halfpenny. Musante GW-49, Baker-29AA, W-10955. Rarity-1. Large Buttons. Copper. Reeded Edge. MS-64 RB (PCGS). OGH. The patina of this Near-Gem features overall steel-blue hues with faint pinkish luster that remains most dramatic on the reverse. The surfaces are hard and smooth, featuring just an old mark in the right obverse field to be seen under scrutiny. Boldly struck for the type and attractive, this piece demonstrates exceptional preservation and just 3 coins have been certified finer by PCGS in this category. A superior example of a Conder token that has long since been "adopted" by those who specialize in colonial and Washington-related coins. PCGS Population: 25; just 3 finer in this category. PCGS# 747. NGC ID: 2B7M. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
