1773 Virginia Halfpenny. Stop after GEORGIVS. 7 Harpstrings. 112.1 gns. Very Choice Uncirculated. Red and brown lustre beautifies this strongly struck specimen of this issue authorized by the Crown specifically for use in Virginia. Fortunately for collectors, few entered circulation before the Revolution ensued, leaving thousands of red Mint State coppers like this for collectors to enjoy centuries later!
