arusak New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 10/10/2019 07:54 am I have this 1723 Wood's Hibernia halfpenny, and I am wondering if anyone knows the Martin number for it? I don't have access to the reference. Any help is appreciated. Edited by arusak 10/10/2019 07:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

I can't help with that reference, but I would mention that the oil on our fingers is very corrosive to coins. It would be better to always hold any coin by its edges only. Your coin, your choice. But we should all strive to preserve the historical value of these items by insuring their grade and eye appeal are maintained. Report this Post to the Staff
arusak New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 10/10/2019 09:19 am Usually I handle coins by the edge, but I was unable to get a good photo of the coin when it was lying on my desk, or when holding it by the edge, so I did handle it. I probably would be a little more cautious about that if there wasn't damage on the reverse, although the coin still has nice details. Report this Post to the Staff
