- 1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. Nelson-3, W-13930.Rarity-3. VOOE POPULI. AU-50 (PCGS). Glossy and lustrous olive brown with some slightly deeper patina in the recesses. A couple of tiny rim marks are noted under magnification but the surfaces are otherwise free of any distractions. This is a really lovely example of this desirable Guidebookvariety, and easily among the nicer ones we have seen in recent times. This is not quite as sharp as the Ted Craige specimen sold in our August 2016 ANA sale (lot 1141),but this is probably more the result of a softer strike than anything else as the surfaces appear superior on this one. That coin was compared favorably to the Norweb, Taylor and Ryder-Boyd-Ford coins. A quick comparison of this coin to those reveals it to easily be finer than the Ryder-Boyd-Ford coins, a bit better than Taylor’s two, but perhaps not quite as fine as the Norweb specimen.
