- 1760 Hibernia-Voce Populi Halfpenny. Zelinka 15-N, Nelson-12, W-13950. Rarity-3. P in Front of Face. AU-50.
114.3 grains. Lustrous chocolate brown with smooth glossy surfaces. Darker toning is present atop the obverse and at base of reverse. What appears to be a deep vertical planchet striation on both sides is actually the vestige of a planchet cutter stroke that was well off the mark, nearly bisecting the coin vertically, an interesting error. A tiny pit is noted atop Hibernia's head, and her nose is the source of merriment when studied under a glass. An unusually sharp example, struck on a crude and out-of-round planchet, finer than the McGrath coin and the Nelson-Lasser-Williamsburg piece, nearly as nice as the primary Boyd-Ford coin.
PCGS# 271.
Provenance: From the Ted L. Craige Collection.
