CAC. Tied for third finest known. Only a total of 17 graded by PCGS, m 3.2-F.4, R7
M 2.21-Ea.3, R4, Breen-121. The fields and portrait are medium brown, and the legends and crowned rose retain the initial olive-yellow luster. A meticulously struck and nearly mark-free example. The quality is exceptional, since the cheek and the rose center do not exhibit flatness, and only a trace of verdigris is present, on the lower tip of the bust. Breen-121 is the Large 3 subtype with a stop after Rex, but no stop after 1723. The Large 3 is readily confused with the Small 3; the Large 3 has an oversized lower loop and a short upper half, the Small 3 has a small lower loop and a tall upper half. Perhaps it would have been better (although it is too late now) to refer to them instead as the Broad 3 and the Tall 3. Listed on page 41 of the 2008 Guide Book. Population: 5 in 62, 3 finer (3/08). From The Liberty Collection of American Colonial Coinage, Part Three. (PCGS# 125)
1722 Wood's Hibernia Farthing. Martin 1.1-A.1, W-12200. Rarity-5. D: G: REX. VF-25 (PCGS). This is a very scarce early issue by William Wood, the only farthing in his series intended for Ireland to show the seated figure with harp at left and use the abbreviated obverse legend GEORGIUS. D:G :REX. It is widely considered a pattern, with all known specimens the product of a single pair of dies. The present example, however, with moderately worn surfaces that clearly spent considerable time in active circulation, challenges this conclusion. All major design elements remain bold and fully appreciable, and the in hand appearance is impressively smooth with no marks of consequence. Some light, ancient surface build up finds greatest expression along the lower left reverse border, in the area of the harp. Whether intentionally or accidentally placed into circulation, this piece survived the ordeal remarkably well. It is a highly significant example of the issue, attractive and problem free, yet at a grade point that allows access for a wider range of collectors.
CAC, Type Two, Harp Right MS63 Brown PCGS. M. 3.3-C.1, W-12810, R.5. A beautiful chocolate-brown example. Free from abrasions, though the base of the king's neck has minor strike-throughs (as issued) and a small spot is concealed on the shoulder curl. A late die state with moderate crumbling on the reverse, as made. Listed on page 44 of the 2015 Guide Book. Population: 3 in 63 Brown, 0 finer (10/14). (PCGS# 170)

1724 Wood’s Hibernia halfpenny. Martin 4.51-K.4, W-13690. Rarity-2. MS-63 BN (PCGS). 113.0 grains. Frosty and lovely steel brown with abundant faded mint color. Sharp and attractive with a warm glow. A couple of trivial planchet flaws are noted, including on I and S of GEORGIUS on the obverse and near the legs of the seated Hibernia. No post-striking problems are seen. Just a really pleasing example of the final Wood’s Hibernia issue coined for circulation. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of the David Spence Collection, March 1975, lot 711.
Undated TOKEN New Yorke Token, Brass, W-1705, R.6, Good 4 PCGS. These pieces that display the old New Yorke spelling that was primarily used prior to 1710, are believed to be an issue that dates to the time of Governor Francis Lovelace who served from 1668 until 1673. John Kleeberg determined that time period for the issuance of these tokens when he observed that the obverse design was a rebus for "Lovelace" and that the reverse displayed the crest of the Lovelace coat of arms. Kleeberg published his findings in a detailed article, "The New Yorke in America Token" that appeared in Money of Pre-Federal America, published by the American Numismatic Society in 1992. In his article, Kleeberg published a census that included four lead examples and 20 brass examples. This cataloger created an updated census late last year that accounted for the same four lead examples and 25 brass examples that may include some duplication. For example, there are two reported pieces that were found in lots of Civil War tokens in the 1950s, but nobody seems to know anything else about those two; six examples were first seen after the 1950s, and could be the same examples in the Civil War token lots, reducing the number known from 25 to 23. Other possible duplications could also exist, so the population could be just 20 pieces. Although well-worn, this pleasing piece has fully natural tan and dark brown surfaces with completely outlined obverse devices. The reverse shows considerable further wear and exhibits about half of the major design detail. This piece remains an attractive and pleasing example without the major problems of several other surviving examples. Listed on page 59 of the 2019 Guide Book. Ex: Stack's (5/1968), lot 51; Henry P. Kendall Foundation (Stack's Bowers, 3/2015), lot 2481. (NGC ID# AUBJ, PCGS# 226)
Betts-519, Breen-251, W-8350. A chocolate-brown example of this popular token, struck in honor of British statesman William Pitt, who in 1766 turned his efforts toward repealing the American Stamp Act. These were almost certainly struck in England and exported by one of the British traders who felt that the Stamp Act impeded commerce. One of the few 18th century pieces bearing the word AMERICA.
