Lot 1906		Pine Tree Sixpence 1652. VG-7. Noe-33, 27.89 grains. Lovely steel gray in color, but slightly bent and hence unevenly worn. About half the tree is present (the top), with the date and denomination strong. One of the most popular of the colonial coins, and apparently some of the first in the American colonies. Estimated Value $500 - 600. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $834
Lot 1907		1723 Hibernia Halfpenny. PCGS graded MS-62. Medium to dark chocolate brown in color with a decent strike on George's high curls. There is a trace of mint red in the lettering on the obverse. Estimated Value $600 - 700. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1908		1723 Hibernia Halfpenny. AU-58. Brown and red in color with boldly struck devices. We note a minor rim clip at 11 o'clock on the obverse, as seen in the photo. Estimated Value $300 - 400. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1909		1760 Hibernia-Voce Populi Halfpenny. PCGS graded AU-55. Medium to dark brown in color, with clean surfaces expected for the grade. There is one small pit or lamination to the right of the harp. Well struck and preserved. Early Colonial coins are starting to be recognized for their rarity and desirability more and more these days, and with so few known, it keeps pricing pressure strong as more collectors seek examples for their collections. Estimated Value $800 - 900. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1910		1711-AA French Colonies 30 Deniers. PCGS graded AU-53. Pewter gray in color with some luster in the fields, but the planchet is finely rough. Always scarce and in demand from colonial collectors as these were struck for and circulated in the early pre-revolutionary days in the American colonies. Estimated Value $600 - 700. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $311
Lot 1911		1755 French Colonies Sou Marque. PCGS graded MS-61. Steel to pewter gray in color, with slightly darker devices. No surface problems or significant contact marks despite the moderate grade, but the planchet quality is typical. Estimated Value $400 - 450. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $345
