''1776'' 1/2P Machin's Mills, BN VG10BN 认证号16160824, PCGS号460

From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set. Pedigree from the Early Cents Auctions Houston Money Show sale part 1, sold on 01/17/25 as lot #230 and described as: “1776 Machin's Mills Vlack 6-76A, W-7790, Large Date R4+, PCGS graded VG10. Glossy medium brown blending to light chocolate in protected areas. Smooth and choice if not for a planchet void at the eye (as struck). The date and legends are strong.” The coin realized $480 in this ECA sale, and the PCGS certification# reveals two prior appearances at Heritage: 09/10/19:23068:$504:Poulos Family Collection, and 07/08/21:91068:$504:James E. Blake Collection. The PCGS Price Guide says $750 which feels right for retail or eBay pricing. Obviously 1776 is an important year here in the USA, so PCGS saw fit to put the reverse side facing out the front of the holder such that the prominent large date is highlighted. PCGS certification# 945.10/16160824 with ‘Machin’s Mills, Lg Date” listed on the label.
