1774 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 7-74A, W-7770. Rarity-6-. GEORGIUS

1774 Machin's Mills Halfpenny. Vlack 7-74A, W-7770. Rarity-6-. GEORGIUS III, Group I. VF-30 (PCGS). 144.2 grains. A noteworthy survivor of this distinctive variety, with a portrait of King George III that actually resembles that found on regal coinage paired with a legend with U in GEORGIUS. Both sides have a nice circulated cameo appearance that contrasts deep chestnut brown fields with lighter autumn orange-brown motifs. Microroughness to the texture is easily overlooked, and just as easily forgiven, central reverse with several crisscrossing scratches are deserve more scrutiny. The in-hand appearance is quite smooth for the grade, nonetheless, and there is plenty of bold detail remaining from a strike that is minimally off center to upper obverse, lower reverse. We've sold almost 20 examples of this variety in the last 20 years, one of the most recent and finest the primary Richard August coin in PCGS EF-40 that sold for $3,600 in our Spring 2026 Showcase Auction. Mr. August's other PCGS VF-30, dispersed through that same Spring 2026 Auction, was not as nice as this one due to rougher surfaces and several more prominent scratches. Since we described that Choice VF as possibly deserving a place in the Condition Census, the same consideration is due for the present example. Provenance: From the Richard August Collection. PCGS Population: 3; with a single EF-40 finer. PCGS# 826949. BASE PCGS# 942. NGC ID: 2B3Z. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
