That's a palm branch Ed.  This is another example of the Breen-155 I commented on in the grading forum. 155 is characterized by the missing bullet before HIBERNIA coupled with the large 3. Is it mint state? I'm inclined to say that it may be lightly circulated. It's hard to tell if there is any wear on HIBERNIA or whether it's just weakness from the strike. If it's not MS then it's darn close. The surfaces are hard and glossy which is what you're really looking for. The color is fantastic. Wood's Hibernia Breen-155 58/58 |

This coin looks a few ticks above MS-60 to me. In my experience, MS-60 coins, more often than not, have less eye appeal than AU-55 to AU 58 coins. This coin is dripping with luster and eye appeal!  |

Outstanding condition. Is it a farthing or halfpenny?

spectacular! Nicely done, Sir.
I think this falls into the category so many graders are using now of "cabinet wear".
