Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Halfpenny. Vlack 1-A, W-11540. Rarity-5. Copper. Reeded Edge. Good-4 (PCGS).117.68 grains. A lovely example of this larger St. Patrick issue with rich hazelnut coloration and darker chestnut patina in the recesses. The obverse is largely smooth, displaying only a shadow of the king and the harp but with somewhat distinct legends. A trivial roughness is apparent in place of the brass splasher at the crown though this is insignificant in-hand. The reverse shows much more definition, offering bold outlines to St. Patrick and his audience. These Mark Newby imports circulated widely throughout New Jersey as the well-worn state of many survivors bears witness.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
