Bought A 1723 Hibernia Halfpenny

I thought it would be kind of neat to have a coin that, quite possibly, was in circulation during a time before we became the United States of America.
It, also, prompted me to go to the RedBook, and then on to the internet to research this old coin I have. Anyone wishing to learn about this particular issue can google up Woods Hibernia Coinage - rather interesting.
I'm not posting a scan - it just didn't turn out well; however, the legend, the date, and a good part of the device is visible to the naked eye - worn, but visible. Even with that, I still wouldn't grade it above AG3 - some corrosion as well as wear. Still, it's pretty cool to have it.
