 1722 Wood's Hibernia Halfpenny. Harp Right. N.4. Choice About Uncirculated. 106.2 gns. Toned in light brown with a faint tinge of green in the color suggestive of a high zinc content. Surfaces a trifle rough due principally to the advanced states of each die. Obverse somewhat rusted but the reverse severely so (note the indistinct nature of the strings in the harp which are encrusted with die rust). An attractive example, made more so by the curiosity of the die states.
St. Louis Stamp & Coin Company on January 14, 1928; F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
