1795 Washington Grate Halfpenny with Large Buttons Breen-1271. NGC graded MS-61 Brown. Frosty steel brown and light chocolate with 5-10% of the faded mint color remaining. Sharply struck and void of notable defects, although there are a couple traces of crud caked around the GA in BISHOPSGATE on the reverse. Very nice for the grade. Listed on page 83 in the "Redbook."
Estimated Value $500-UP.
