1723 Wood's Hibernia Halfpenny Martin 4.44-Fa.5 R4 MS63

Frosty mint red fading to steel brown with 15-20% of the original mint color remaining. Nicely struck and choice except for a couple small planchet impurities on the obverse, mostly over the first G in GEORGIUS and on the truncation near the hair (as struck). The reverse is flawless. Superior to the Martin plate coin for the variety.
