This specimen was lot 72046 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, October 2019), where it sold for $840. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. 1/2 Penny, 1736. London Mint. George II. PCGS MS-64 Brown Gold Shield. Tied with just one other specimen for the finest graded by PCGS, this blazing near Gem offers alluring reddish-brown surfaces with an underlying lustrous brilliance. From the Regent Crest Collection." This type is listed for 1729-39 and is fairly common in worn condition. The mint did not produce near enough small change for the industrial boom of the eighteenth century, leading to a proliferation of private tokens. The situation would not be rectified until the reform of 1817.
Recorded mintage: unknown but fairly common thru Very Fine.
Specification: copper.
