Lot 1240
1724 Hibernia Halfpenny. PCGS graded AU-50. Stop after date. Struck from worn dies, the obverse with a light crack through GEORGIU, and a rim crack to the bust point. The reverse die appears to have been lapped, as the central definition is indistinct, and some of the harp strings are played out. Examination makes us uncertain that the color is original, as it remains slightly uneven with hints of mottling. Free of circulation problems or other detractions. Estimated Value $400 - 500
