UPDATE FOR feb. 17th the remaining has been given to an auction company.

coinsarefun

I would like to thank each and everyone one of you who purchased from me. It was hard to see my babies go but it’s nice to know who has them.
I gave the rest and more to the auction company. They said they will be promoting it as CoinsAreFun Collection.
I think it will be a 2 part minimum auction with possible a third. Once all the strategic things are worked out I will announce where I have chosen to sell the first pert of my collection.

1795 Washington Grate Halfpenny, large buttons, RE. PCGSMS64BN. $950 Delivered Price guide states $1,100
……..SOLD…….
As describe in Coinfacts from Ron Guth:
The Washington Grate Halfpenny is part of the series of merchant tokens and collector coins produced in England in the late 1700s. Collectively, these coins are known as Conder tokens. Some Conder tokens offered themes that related directly to the American Colonies or the United States. This particluar piece, because of the portrait of George Washington that appears on the obverse, has been accepted into the canon of U.S. colonial coins, though the striking date was late and the association loose.

The Grate Halfpenny derives its name from the fireplace grate on the reverse of the coin. This was meant to evoke the comfort and warmth of the home setting. The edge bore the inscription: "PAYABLE AT LONDON LIVERPOOL OR BRISTOL." The Large Button variety refers to the button on Washington's coat -- compare and contrast with the Small Button variety (PCGS #749).

The Grate Halfpenny is a relatively common coin, but true Mint State examples are somewhat scarce. The finest examples certified by PCGS rate MS64. Red-Brown examples are as scarce as hen's teeth.

I want to thank everyone for looking and those that have bought. This has proved to be too much for me to handle.
Due to the health issues I just can’t do it anymore. Please take a last look and whatever is left tomorrow afternoon it’s going to the auction company.
