 1723 Wood's Hibernia Farthing. N.7. Choice Uncirculated. 57.4 gns. A lovely example and nearly exemplary for the type. The obverse is a nice light brown with considerable mint red remaining around the periphery. The center is sharply struck with almost all of George's hair detail showing full and bold. The reverse is more light golden brown but still has traces of red color showing mostly within the harp. The surfaces are clear and smooth, and the centers are nicely sharp, as well. This coin has obviously been prized by all its previous owners.
Ex Henry Chapman on February 16, 1919; F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
