St. Patrick Halfpenny, XF45
Vlack 5-D, Pleasing Surfaces

(1670-75) 1/2 P St. Patrick Halfpenny XF45 PCGS. Vlack 5-D, Breen-199, W-11540. The St. Patrick series was struck for Ireland, but circulated as legal tender in New Jersey. Unlike their farthing counterparts, the St. Patrick halfpennies have relatively few die marriages. Only nine are confirmed, as cataloged by Robert A. Vlack in his 1966 reference Early American Coins. Vlack 1-A, Vlack 4-E, and Vlack 5-D appear to be the three most available varieties. This is a charming chocolate-brown Choice XF example with pleasing problem-free surfaces. The brass splasher covers all of the crown. Listed on page 38 of the 2024 Guide Book.
