Lustrous light brown with generous traces of mint red visible on both sides, especially on the obverse. The fields are slightly reflective and this piece has superb eye appeal. Essentially flawless except for a light scuff nestled between the bust tip and NO. These halfpennies were issued to recognize Pitt's efforts to have the very unpopular Stamp Act repealed. Our grade is MS63+. An outstanding example, the finest we have seen. Seen page 47 in the "Redbook." Whitman-8350, Betts-519. Housed in an older generation PCGS slab.
