From the Stacks Bowers sale of 03/26/24, lot #3109, where it was described as: “1772 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 5-72A, W-7710. Rarity-6. GEORGIVS III, Group I. Fine-12 (PCGS). 105.2 grains. A pleasing example of this rare variety, glossy golden-olive-brown with good eye appeal for the grade. A smattering of fine marks are noted, little rim bruise at base of bust, another smaller one atop reverse, rim nick at 4 o'clock on reverse too. Reverse aligned to 11 o'clock, AN soft. Not perfect, but quite pleasing as it is. The Ringo coin was only a little sharper and the Vlack coin was roughly equivalent in terms of detail. Provenance: From our sale of the Ted L. Craige Collection, November 2012 Baltimore Auction, lot 6297; Heritage's sale of the Poulos Family Collection, Part II, September 2019 Long Beach Signature Auction, lot 4522.” In that Heritage auction from 2019, this coin was graded as PCGS F15 #939.15/26886841 and sold for $1,260. In this 2024 Stacks Bowers sale, the coin is now PCGS F12 #939.12/48177818, and it sold for just $960 to CVM. Not sure why the coin was down-graded, but I suspect it got re-holdered into a Gold Shield holder so that it would receive a PCGS photograph? I purchased the coin from CVM on 02/22/25.

From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set. Pedigreed to the 11/22/24 Stacks Bowers internet only auction, lot #8498, and described as: “1775 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 4-75A, W-7780. Rarity-4. GEORGIVS III, Group I. VF-30 (PCGS). Provenance: From the Ross Family Collection. Earlier from McCawley-Grellman's Twelfth Annual C-4 Convention Sale, December 2006, lot 20.” The coin realized $456 in this 2024 Stacks Bowers auction to Kevin Vinton, and I purchased the coin from him on 12/14/24. Then I sold the coin to Matt Virga on 03/03/25 and bought it back on 04/14/25! I would certainly like to upgrade this example, but that might take a while. PCGS Price Guide says $1,050, certification #457.30/50449737.

From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set. Prior pedigree from the Heritage sale of the Long Island Collection, sold on 04/18/22 as lot #44300 and sold for the bargain price of just $516 to CVM. Although graded by NGC as VG8, I think the coin is massively under-graded: I think it’s at least F12, and the surfaces are much smoother and more attractive in hand than the Heritage auction photos suggest. I purchased this coin from CVM on 03/01/25 for a significantly higher price that reflects the true grade and condition of this nice low-grade example. One of the key dates to this fascinating series – buy the book! Crossed over from NGC VG8 to PCGS VG8, #826951.8/54809376 "Machin's, Vlack 6-76A" and STILL under-graded! The NGC Long Island insert remains with the coin.
From the Stacks Bowers sale of the Ross Family Collection, sold on 11/18/24 as lot #1255, and described as: “1778 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 11-78A, W-7820. Rarity-3. GEORGIVS III, Group III. AU-50 (PCGS). Warm olive-copper with intermingled streaks and blushes of lighter golden-brown. The impression is trivially off center to 3 o'clock, right borders into the peripheral lettering on both sides. Overall detail is bold, nonetheless, with the design fully appreciable. Minor flan flaws over and before the effigy, a few others widely scattered through the reverse field. Handling marks are minor, the texture frosty with some good gloss. All in all, an attractive piece that is well above average for this Vlack number. Provenance: From the Ross Family Collection. Earlier from NASCA's Kessler-Spangenberger Collection Sale, April 1981, lot 2334.” The coin comes with a gray envelope that references a weight of 104.2g, and a price of $2,350. That price matches a catalog cutout apparently from Angel Pietri on 06/02 that reads “7-. 11-78A: EF, 104.2g, glossy, high end CC, nearly equal to Ringo’s coin. Ex-Kessler-Spangenberger sale, lot 2334. $2,350.” And finally, there is also a paper insert with some typewritten notes that also reference ex-Kessler and “2 to 3 EF KNOWN.” This coin sold for $1,320 in the 2024 Ross auction, and I purchased the coin for a significantly higher price from CVM on 04/21/25. But I was happy to do that for two reasons: first, this coin has a current PCGS Price Guide value of $3,250, and second and more importantly, there just are NOT that many examples of this date that come nice. This one actually appears to be one of the sharper and more attractive examples. Take a stroll through the Stacks Bowers auction archives and you will see what I mean! PCGS certification# 466.50/50449739.
From the Stacks Bowers sale of the Ross Family Collection, sold on 11/18/24 as lot #1256 and described as: “1787 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 19-87C, W-7940. Rarity-2. GEORGIVS III, Group III. AU-58 (PCGS). A very attractive high grade example with choice walnut-brown color and high quality, frosty textured surfaces. Boldly struck throughout and just about perfectly centered on the obverse, the reverse is aligned to 1 o'clock with no denticulation along the upper right. There is only a slight trace of wear across the high points. Close inspection will reveal nothing other than a few extremely minor planchet voids and trivial natural roughness. One of the most common varieties of Machin's Mills halfpennies and ideal for the type collector. Features the prolific reverse 87C die that was used on six different counterfeit halfpenny varieties as well as the RR-13 Vermont at the very end of its life. Provenance: From the Ross Family Collection. Earlier from EWS Robison, 1975; McCawley-Grellman's Seventh Annual C-4 Convention Sale, November 2001, lot 370.” The coin sold for $1,680 to CVM in that 2024 auction, and I purchased the coin from Chris on 04/22/25. 1787 is the most common date for Machin’s Mills coinage, but even so, this AU58 should be among the top ten graded examples at PCGS. Current PCGS Price Guide is $5,500, which is obviously too high. Or is it? PCGS certification# 469.58/50449741.
