1722 Wood's Hibernia Halfpenny. Harp Left. N.3. Choice Uncirculated. 109.9 gns. Nicely and evenly toned in a rich gray-brown shade on both sides. Struck from what appear to be rusted and somewhat broken dies, the obverse centers a bit rough as a result. Softly struck in the centers which seems to be fairly typical for the issue. Fields clear, clean, and somewhat reflective in appearance.
Ex A.H. Baldwin & Sons, Ltd. on October 12, 1973.
