Description

1787 Machin’s Mills Scarce and Significant King George III Copper Halfpenny, Manufactured in Colonial America
Very desirable, collectible and certain to appreciate.
This represents a part of Colonial Coinage manufactured and used here in Colonial America due to the shortage of copper and general scarcity due to the Revolutionary War and population increases throughout the Colonies this led to creating of non-regal or imitation coinage used here in the United States.
Scarcity of early coinage in America where denominations were used primarily from Great Britain but other colonizing nations as well, the value was in the material either copper or silver, so almost any country's currency would pass hands.
Kings and Queens of Great Britain:
William and Mary   1689-1702
Anne                       1702-1714
George I                  1714-1727
George II                 1727-1760
George III                1760-1820
Historically important date during the colonization of America and our history.
Thanks for your consideration.
