1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. Nelson-1, Zelinka 1-A, W-13820. Rarity-6. Boyish Head. Fine-12 (PCGS).144.7 grains. Dark brown and even in its glossiness, the highest relief areas of the obverse effigy and the seated Hibernia are worn to lighter brown on both sides. Distinctive for its ovoid flan, measuring roughly 27.5 mm across and 26.0 mm vertically. A host of stray marks are noted on both sides, with a short central scratch and some field pitting on the reverse. Zelinka estimated 13 to 30 known of this variety in 1976, and though we are not sure exactly how many are actually known today, it is definitely one of the scarcer varieties in the series. In fact, this lower grade example is the only one Syd ever purchased, compared with other varieties in this and other series where he acquired multiples of certain scarce and rare varieties, perhaps pointing to the unsung scarcity of this die combination.PCGS# 262.
