Lot 3		"1775" British Half Pence. NGC graded Mint Error AU-50 Brown Double Struck 2nd Strike Off Center. A dramatic double strike, showing heavy overlapping design detail on both obverse and reverse. The surfaces are rich chocolate brown in color and lacking any serious marks or scratches. The need for small change by settlers began almost as soon as they started colonizing the North American continent and by the late 17th century sufficient amounts of copper coinage was being exported to the American Colonies. This trend would continue until 1795 and among these copper issues that reached North America were regal British halfpence copper issues. A significant and highly desirable error in very high quality. Estimated Value $300 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $242

Lot 5		1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. "VOOE POPULI". NGC graded VF-30 Brown. Scarce "VOOE" variety with the C of VOCE appearing as an O. It is possible that the C was first engraved backwards, with the subsequent correctly placed C masking the original misplaced serif of the C. Perhaps the O was used twice and a C was engraved over it in an attempt to correct the mistake. Whatever the case, the present coin has light brown color with slightly porous surfaces. While struck off-center, all the lettering is present and sharp. Estimated Value $300 - 350. View details	Unsold
