Lot 220
1787 Auctori Plebis Halfpenny Token Breen-1147 PCGS graded XF45. Rather frosty mix of medium chocolate and lighter brown. The toning is delicately mixed in diagonal striations on the obverse and this piece offers excellent eye appeal. No notable defects and just a touch of friction on the highpoints. The lower half of the date is off the planchet, which is normal for this type, and the strike is slightly off center to K-2 leaving a few letters slightly off the planchet as well. The planchets for this type were just too small for the dies. MDS with the usual die cracks on the reverse. The Heard provenance is noted on the PCGS label. Listed on page 76 in the "Redbook." Estimate Value $500 - UP
