GREAT BRITAIN. 1749 Halfpenny. Spink-3719, KM-579.2. AU-50 (PCGS).

GREAT BRITAIN. 1749 Halfpenny. Spink-3719, KM-579.2. AU-50 (PCGS). A rather earthy example, both sides are granular and a bit hazy with blushes of olive-charcoal to dominant tobacco brown color. The planchet is smooth and free of flaws, both sides also devoid of distracting marks. Well struck and bold for the grade. Although British regal halfpennies of various dates circulated widely throughout the American Colonies, those dated 1749 are particularly significant for U.S. collectors. Examples of this date, along with 1749 farthings, were sent to the colonies as reimbursement for the 1745 capture of Fortress Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island by New Englanders during King George's War (the North American theater of the War of the Austrian Succession). Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 610379. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
