Not Sold Description
(1670-75) St. Patrick Halfpenny, XF45
Rare Vlack 4-E Variety
(1670-75) 1/2 P St. Patrick Halfpenny XF45 PCGS Secure. Vlack
4-E, Breen-204, W-11540. This rare St. Patrick halfpenny
variety has small letters on both the obverse and reverse. These
curious coppers are attributed to Mark Newby of Dublin who
emigrated to New Jersey (then West Jersey) in 1681. Among other
things, Newby brought a quantity of St. Patrick halfpennies and
supposedly convinced the state legislature to accept the coins for
small transactions. Research is ongoing as to the relationship and
origin of the farthings and halfpennies. This chocolate-brown piece
is smooth with strong devices. The brass plug is on the upper right
portion of the crown. A nice addition to any Colonial assemblage.
