Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Halfpenny. Martin 1-B, W-11540. Rarity-4. Copper. Reeded Edge. Fine-12 (PCGS).With overall smooth surfaces that exhibit appreciable gloss, this is a superior quality example of the type for the assigned grade. Lovely golden-brown patina dominates the in hand appearance, the only significant variation to the color a splash of charcoal-russet at the top of the harp. All major design elements are at least discernible, most are quite bold, and a readily evident brass plug at the crown further enhances this coins already significant appeal.From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. Acquired from Early American Numismatics, March 1993.
