로트 설명

A predominantly olive-copper example with slight marbling of autumn-brown evident on the obverse. Well centered in strike, although the upper obverse exhibits scant denticulation, all major design elements are bold despite a touch of softness to isolated high points. Minor planchet flaw centered on the first letter I in IRISH, no marks of note. The reverse, used on the Liberty and Security halfpence, is in a slightly earlier state than the Birmingham edged pieces, with the arc die crack present but not as bold. It is uncertain whether these saw circulation only in the British Isles or if some may have come to America with those that bore the Washington portrait obverse.
