1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. Nelson-12, Zelinka 15-N, W-13950. Rarity-3. P in Front of Face. VF-20 (PCGS).171.8 grains. The Voce Populi halfpence with "P" below bust or in front of face tend to be heavier than those without, but this piece is positively bloated at 171.8 grains, nearly double the lightest weight pieces in the series! The next heaviest one we found quickly was the Ryder-Boyd-Ford coin at 161.3 grains. This example is a glossy light brown with some light pimpling in the fields from the cast flan on which it was struck and some bruising to the edge which we find is not unusual for Irish halfpence of the period.PCGS# 924119.
