1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. Nelson-14, Zelinka 16-O, W-13960. Rarity-6. P Below Bust. VF-30 (PCGS).119.5 grains. A plain edge version of this very scarce die marriage, here showing golden brown, glossy surfaces with subtle areas of darker brown, notable in the O of VOCE. Well-centered on a too-small-for-the-dies planchet, the obverse legends are wearing into the rims, while the extremities of the reverse legends are off-flan, notably the "0" of the date, which is wholly invisible. A very early purchase by Syd that was not "upgraded" until he inadvertently stumbled into the Engrailed Edge variety of the Nelson-14 two decades later.PCGS# 924120.
