Colonial 1766 Pitt Token Halfpenny PCGS 45
A well struck example of a token, privately minted by James Smither of Philadelphia. This token was minted to supplement a shortage of circulating coinage. A very desirable and historic token, one which is known to have circulated in the Colonies prior to the American Revolution. The William Pitt depicted on this token is the First Earl of Chatham (1708-1778). His son, (1759-1806) by the same name later became Prime Minister of England. PCGS has certified 16 tokens at this level with 43 finer. This encapsulation features a green CAC hologram label, indicating the coin has met CAC's grading standards.
