Ireland_1736_half_penny_obv_Heritage_3024-24547.jpg(450 × 447 pixels, file size: 72 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

This specimen was lot 24547 in Heritage sale 3024 (Chicago, April 2013), where it sold for $1,880. The catalog description[1] noted, "George II Proof Halfpenny 1736, S-6605, copper, PR64 RB PCGS, a second example of this very scarce early copper proof, this one staggeringly beautiful and still glowing with much mint red blended with bright blue iridescence, its fields highly reflective, both the king's portrait and the Harp essentially perfect, all set within high rims. Striated edge. The cataloguer has about 40 years of experience with early Proofs, and with 'modern' Irish coins, and considers this specimen to be a gem."
