 Lot 34 - united states colonials - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #841787 Connecticut Miller 37.14-cc.2 Rarity-6 VG8. Draped Bust Left. Sharpness at least F15 where the designs were properly struck up, but the right half of the obverse is covered with hairline scratches, there is a sharp nick on the chin, and traces of greenish verdigris show on the left side of the reverse. In addition a planchet lamination fissure extends horizontally across the obverse passing through the middle of the neck. Rather glossy medium brown and light chocolate. The date is weak but still readable with some effort. This piece was struck while it was barely overlapping another planchet, and an indent from that second planchet is clearly visible at the bottom of the obverse. While this piece is certainly not perfect, it is still superior to the Miller-Ford example of the variety. Only a very few better ones are known. Weight 132.4 grains.

 Lot 13 - united states colonials - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #841773 Virginia Halfpenny Breen-181 PCGS graded MS66 Brown, CAC Approved. Variety without a stop following GEORGIVS. Choice lustrous medium brown with traces of very faded mint color in protected areas on the obverse. The best identifying mark is a wisp of slightly darker chocolate brown toning at the I in NIA. A sharply struck gem example of this halfpenny that was authorized by the British Crown for use in colonial Virginia. Most likely from the famous Colonel Cohen Hoard of mint state examples that was disbursed over the decades beginning in the early 1870's. Listed on page 45 in the "Redbook."
