            Lot 2284Great Britain. Pattern Halfpenny, Undated. Peck 730 (Very 
            Rare). Struck in copper, this was one of the few specimens to have 
            been given a superb bronzed finish. There is a nice red color to the 
            coin. Striated edge. This coin has a reverse design of a rose with 
            eight leaves and a thistle with two leaves, on a single stem- 
            thereby signifying the (Act of) Union of England and Scotland in 
            1707. We cannot remember seeing a nicer example of this rare coin. 
            Free from the usual reverse die rust marks. NGC graded MS-64 Brown.
