1721 British Evasion Halfpenny.Cobwright G.0170/B.0250, Atkins 147, obverse with bust of George II, legend GEORGE RULED, reverse legend BRITAINS ISLES. 101.0 grains. Very Fine, well-struck, and a nice early-dated example (though still struck a good 75 years after the date it bears). The legends, date, and design detail all strong. Light brown, the surfaces hard, with the expected light marks from both the trouncing sack and actual circulation, but a handsome example.
