1774 British Evasion Halfpenny.Cobwright C.0170/D.0080, Atkins 55, obverse legend CLAUDUIS ROMANUS, reverse legend DELECTAT RUS *C, date with dot after last digit. 101.0 grains. Fine or slightly better, weak at the centers as often found, but the legends and date strong, and just weak at the obverse bust’s face. There are more obverse dies with this legend that have the misspelled CLAUDUIS instead of CLAUDIUS. Medium brown, light marks from circulation, but not bad.
