<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3172456, member: 8959&quot;]That is a most beautiful example of the George III half penny! Pristine surfaces, extremely sharp details and with reflectivity visible on the obverse. I can well imagine the reverse is similarly reflective. </p><p>It is conceivable that even if not intended as an official proof strike, this piece could well have been intended as a presentation piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>Viewing your coin I had to think of this 1787 Vermont copper in my collection. If you allow, physics-fan3.14 I am posting it here for comparison. I hope it is OK. </p><p>The design is identical to your coin, but of course the legends are different. A very crude rendition of the British halfpence, made half a world away, in a small building, (&quot;about 16 by 18 feet, made of rough materials, sided with unplaned and unpainted boards&quot;) in a corner of the small town of Ruppert, Vermont. </p><p>This coin is in extremely fine condition for the variety. In fact, it seems to have circulated very little. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]815660[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]815661[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
