- High Grade VOOE Voce Populi 1760 Hibernia-Voce Populi Halfpenny. Zelinka 7-E, Nelson-3, W-13930. Rarity-3. VOOE POPULI. AU-50. 97.1 grains. Superb lustrous gloss persists on mahogany brown surfaces. A little harmless surface verdigris appears at northwest quadrant of the reverse, else essentially problem-free. The C break is entirely closed, making this the true "VOOE" state. Similar quality to the Norweb coin, finer than both Zelinka (Taylor) coins and all three Boyd-Ford coins. McGrath's was a VF with some marks. A very nice one appeared in the 1995 C4 sale, lot 251, described by your cataloger in his salad days as AU-58 and "a candidate for finest known," a statement made in relative ignorance that proved to be fairly accurate. The present coin appears to be superior than the Nelson-Lasser-Williamsburg coin and nearly every other one sold in memory. PCGS# 265. Provenance: From the Ted L. Craige Collection. Purchased from Spink & Son, Ltd.
