Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Halfpenny. Martin 1-A, W-11540. Rarity-5. Large Letters. Fine-12 (PCGS).Choice, original light brown and tan surfaces. As fully detailed as one could hope for with just the tops of some of the letters off the planchet as is virtually always the case with this variety. Interesting splasher -- it appears the coiner applied the brass with the wrong side up, and then corrected his mistake by placing one additional drop on the crown. An intriguing piece that also offers exceptional eye appeal and quality.PCGS# 46.From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) January 2010 Americana Sale, lot 4011.
