MaximillianMike Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 9:50 pm Hello Everyone. I believe the variety of this farthing to be 4.101-Gc.36. I do not have Sydney Martin's book but I have found similar examples with this attribution. It has the die crack from the e in DEI and it goes through the head of George I into the right field. There is also a die crack that runs across all letters in GRATIA and terminates on the rim just below. The reverse has 11 harp strings. I believe this is later die state based on the length of the crack running out of the bust and the addition of the other as mentioned. I appreciate any assistance given. Also, this is graded NGC VF-35 if anyone was curious. Thanks a bunch!! Obverse Die cracks as mentioned Reverse Edited by MaximillianMike 03/09/2024 10:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 03/10/2024 03:11 am Looks like a Martin 4.101-Gc.29 to me, but it would be a halfpence, and not a farthing. It appears to be quite a late die state as well. The Martin 4.101-Gc.29 has the die crack from the top of the head much more prominent. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...29-bn/921327 The Martin 4.101-Gc.36 https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...36-bn/921328 EDIT: On second look I think you might be right the stop on the reverse after the HIBERNIA is more level with the A crossbar, a sign of the Gc.36 reverse.

MaximillianMike Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 03/10/2024 11:48 am Thank you both for the assistance! This is my first Hibernia and I have often heard they can be tough to attribute. I think I was lucky this time to find a similar one already attributed. Report this Post to the Staff
