- 1736 Auctori Plebis copper. Breen-1149, Atkins-(8), Cobwright-A.0060/H.0180. HISPANIOLA. VF-25 (PCGS).
98.4 grains. Dark steely brown and quite choice for an evasion halfpenny, with glossy surfaces and just two isolated areas of flat, difficult to see speckling, one on each side. This die combination marries an AUCTORI PLEBIS obverse imitating the Irish George III issues of 1766-69 with a 1736-dated Hispaniola reverse that is different than the one with the "blundered" date. It has been five years since we have offered an example of this variety, comparable examples of which have sold at auction for as much as $2,500. This may be the finest Breen-1149 graded by PCGS, though it is hard to tell as Breen-1148 and Breen-1149 seem to have been assigned the same PCGS number in the past.
Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
PCGS# 966.
