Lot 566
1723 Wood's Hibernia Halfpenny Martin 4.86-Gc.17 R4. ICG graded AU-50. Attractive glossy light chocolate brown with satiny mint luster showing in the protected areas. Essentially flawless except for an incomplete planchet at the rim above US DEI. The rim in this area is beveled suggesting this planchet was cut from the end of the strip. LDS with extensive die rust on the obverse and a die crack connecting the B & E in HIBERNIA. Clearly finer than the Martin plate coin for the variety.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
