- 1795 Washington Liberty and Security halfpenny. Baker-31a, Musante GW-48, W-11005. AU-50 (PCGS). 152.4 grains. Asylum edge. Glossy dark chocolate brown on the obverse, a shade lighter on the reverse where substantial luster and some faded mint color persists. Especially well struck, as is typical of this scarcer lettered edge variety. While the plain edge variety was struck on thin planchet stock that made full realization of the design a near impossibility, savvy specialists have long recognized that the bolder strike of the lettered edge variety makes for the best representation of these design types. This specimen is particularly pleasing and choice for the grade, with just some shallow natural planchet chips present in the right obverse field but no other distractions. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of the Laird U. Park Collection, May 1976, lot 191; the Dr. George Fuld Collection. PCGS Population: 2; 13 finer (MS-63 BN finest). PCGS# 761 Click here for certification details from PCGS.
