Choice RB 1773 Virginia Halfpenny 1773 Virginia Halfpenny. With Period. Newman 27-J, W-1585. 7 Harpstrings. Rarity-2. MS-64 RB PCGS. This satiny and lustrous Virginia halfpenny is mainly bright rose-orange with some deeper tan on the king’s cheek and the highest portions of the reverse cross that quarters the shield. Still, we have no qualms about calling this specimen choice for the grade. Collecting this issue by Newman varieties can prove to be a daunting challenge, but acquiring a single top-notch example for type purposes is no great challenge in itself. Virginia halfpennies, while not common in the strictest sense, are not rare either. Made to circulate in the Virginia Colony, many are the well-worn specimens available today; the issue survived in sufficient numbers that numerous RD and RB specimens exist of some of the more common varieties. Treat yourself to a bit of Colonial Virginia’s numismatic history, and begin your early American type collection here.
