Lot Description

1722 Wood's Hibernia Halfpenny. Martin 4.2-C.5, W-12810. Rarity-5. Second Type, Harp at Right. MS-62 BN (PCGS). 119.5 grains. The color is a mix of dark brown with lighter accents throughout, but free of red or black areas. As to the strike it falls into the average category with trace softness on the central reverse effigy. Clean surfaces overall, but the planchet shows minor flaws in the fields, located on the lower obverse. Scarce this well preserved, and a later die state. Provenance: From our sale of the Ted L. Craige Collection, March 2013 Baltimore Auction, lot 80. PCGS# 170. NGC ID: 2ATB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
