LOT 604 1794 C-4a R3 G5+ . Small Edge Letters. Slightly sharper but there are a few light scratches in the center of the reverse, all blended into the glossy brown and light olive toning. There are some light ticks on the neck but overall this is an attractive piece. Very late die state, Manley state 4.0 late, with very strong swelling at the lower curls. The date is strong and the legends are readable.
LOT 600 A Quartet of Irish Halfpence 1766 & 1769 . Includes three dated 1766 and one dated 1769, probably all regal issues rather than imitations. All have a clear date and readable legends. Lot of 4 coins.

LOT 605 1794 C-7 R5+ AG3 . Sharpness VG10, maybe a bit better in some places, but banged and squeezed enough to bend the planchet. Perhaps hit hard with a hammer. Covered with very fine roughness but no notable verdigris. Slightly glossy light chocolate and steel with darker steel on the highpoints. Later die state; the radial die crack through the E in UNITED is clear.
