- Lovely blended steel-brown and reddish-copper, mostly glossy in texture. Adequate strike for this challenging issue, usual softness in Washington's hair and in the ship's hull directly opposite. Only minor contact marks are seen, none of which are worthy of singular concern. A bit scarcer as the English token variants go, enough so that this issue was sometimes given valuable plate space in 19th century sales. When the Benjamin Haines collection was sold in 1863, the Liverpool halfpenny was called "extremely rare" with the note that only one other was known to him. It sold to Colin Lightbody for $25, the same amount a C.C. Wright Signing of the Declaration medal would bring just two months later.
