1722 Woods Hibernia Halfpenny. Martin 4.4-Be.1, W-12790. Rarity-5. First Type, Harp at Left. MS-64 BN (PCGS). CAC.High grade specimens of this scarcer <em>Guide Book</em> variety with Harp at Left, though they are offered from time to time, are not usually as appealing as the piece presented here. It is a hard, frosty example with lovely autumn-brown and olive-copper colors blended over both sides. The strike is nicely centered and sharply rendered, the surfaces smooth and inviting with no post-production blemishes of note. A nice high grade type candidate from this colonial era series, and also a coin that will appeal to advanced specialists in Woods Hibernia coinage.PCGS# 167. NGC ID: 2ATA.
