- Finest PCGS-Graded 1724 Wood's Hibernia Halfpenny 1724 Wood’s Hibernia halfpenny. Martin 4.73-L.2, W-13730. Rarity-5. MS-65+ RB (PCGS). 108.8 grains. Last offered in our famous Charles Jay sale of 1967, where this piece was described as “A beautiful full flaming original mint red, obverse and reverse. Light iridescent toning just beginning on the high portions. Uncirculated gem, and worth any price paid for it. Probably could not be equalled.” Sharply struck, barely mellowed, well defined even at the centers, and free of flaws, this must be counted as one of the best preserved 1724 Wood’s Hibernia halfpence anywhere. While a RD designation has been assigned three times (to somewhere between one and three different coins), all of those grades have been at the MS-64 level. This is the only MS-65+ at any color designation. It is a beauty. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from our (Stack’s) sale of the Charles Jay Collection, October 1967, lot 23. PCGS Population: 1, none finer. PCGS #191 Click here for certification details from PCGS.
