(1694) London Elephant Halfpenny Thick Planchet EF45

Glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Satiny mint frost covers the fields and protected areas. Would rate a grade close to mint state but there is a depression under OND into the left side of the shield and opposing roughness on the rump of the elephant. Looks like there may have been a blob of debris that came between the dies and the planchet as this piece was struck. Otherwise this piece looks choice mint state. Weight 218.3 grains.
