Lot Description

1722 Wood's Hibernia Halfpenny. Martin 3.1-Bb.3, W-12690. Rarity-5. First Type, Harp at Left. EF-45 BN (NGC). A lovely example of both the type and die pairing, both sides exhibit a few swirls of lighter sandy-tan patina to otherwise evenly toned, medium brown surfaces. The texture is satiny and overall smooth to allow one to focus on boldly to sharply defined features. Middle obverse die state with the pronounced crack below the bust extending to the letter O in GEORGIVS. PCGS# 167.
