Lot Description: Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Halfpenny. Vlack 1-B. Rarity-4. Large Letters. VF-35 (PCGS). 145.8 grains. A really pretty example of this type, with choice medium brown color and contrasting light golden brown devices. Some old inactive verdigris has collected around the design elements in an entirely harmless fashion. The surfaces are smooth and unflawed and the detail is strong. This is a very high quality type coin with a notable provenance. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from A.H. Baldwin & Son's sale of November 1971, lot 227; John J. Ford, Jr. Collection; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part VII, January 2005, lot 12. PCGS# 46. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
