| Description |
1769 "Rubber Lady" Pair, Variety 3a-69A. These two examples are from the same die pair that is part of the "Rubber Lady" family, so-named for the elastic appearance of Britannia's arms and legs. Both examples are pleasing VF pieces with attractive brown surfaces. A depression at the center of the obverse on one example is also seen on the plate coin in Contemporary Counterfeit Halfpenny & Farthing Families. Both of the present pieces are equal to or finer than the plate coin in that reference, which is the finest the authors could locate. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
