Lot Description

1724 Wood's Hibernia Halfpenny. Martin 4.70-K.2, W-13690. Rarity-4. AU-58 (PCGS). 119.7 grains. Deep golden-tan surfaces reveal no marks of substance to the unaided eye, and with precious few marks at all seen under low magnification. The devices are fairly crisp throughout except where diminished by light circulation. A visually pleasing example of a relatively scarce Martin variety.
