This coin is a notable piece from the Pre-1776 States Coinage series, specifically minted in 1773. It is a half-penny denomination (1/2P) and is made of copper. Though it lacks a mint mark and specific mint information is not available, its historical significance as part of early American coinage is substantial. The coin measures a diameter of 0.00000000, indicating that no precise measurements are provided. Likewise, the coin's weight and other physical dimensions also lack specific details. Its production type is a mint strike, meaning it was produced using traditional minting methods, ensuring a level of craftsmanship associated with its time. With a mintage value recorded as 0, it suggests that this particular type may be exceedingly rare or perhaps unrecorded. In terms of its edge type and designer, no information is indicated, which is common for many early colonial coins. As a piece of early Americana, this 1773 half-penny copper coin offers a glimpse into the nascent stages of the United States' currency evolution, reflecting the economic and historical context of the period just before independence. The coin's face value, while nominal at 0.00500000 USD, carries an intrinsic value far beyond its monetary worth due to its age, rarity, and the story it represents in American history. Collectors of early American coins would likely find this specimen an intriguing addition to their collection, contributing to the narrative of America's colonial past.
