1724 Hibernia Farthing Colonial Half Penny – PCGS XF45
Colonial-Era Copper with Transatlantic History
This 1724 Hibernia Farthing, graded PCGS XF45, is a well-preserved example of early British copper that played a key role in American colonial commerce. Struck during the reign of King George I, these farthings were intended for use in Ireland but saw widespread circulation in the American colonies—making them a cornerstone of early U.S. numismatic history.
The obverse features a bold, detailed bust of King George I, while the reverse shows the seated figure of Hibernia with harp in hand, a classic symbol of Ireland. This coin has honest wear consistent with circulation, but retains strong detail and rich, original patina, giving it a well-earned charm and historical character.

Historic copper coinage used in both Ireland and colonial America

‘’Found a couple of the 2009 Formative Years” I have been looking for. Came to Copperstate Coins responding to an ad not knowing they were a coin dealer. Met with Ivy to pick up my rolls. All in the store were extremely polite not pushy helpful and I left with more than I came in for. Without a doubt greatest place to go if you’re just getting into the hobby, which I am, I will be a frequent customer. Thank you!!’’
