- 78.4 grains. Breen's "Second Prototype Halfpenny," here represented by an exceptional Choice AU example. Sharply rendered and crisp, the design elements are framed by boldly and evenly denticulated borders that confirm a well centered impression. Glints of faded antique brassy-gold color persist in places, mostly on the obverse, the appearance otherwise one of rich tobacco-brown patina. The planchet is hard and smooth apart from a few trivial pits that are hardly worth mentioning. A couple of flecks of waxy residue are nestled within the hair tresses behind King George's eye, but there are no troublesome marks, and the eye appeal is strong. Few examples of this important and eagerly sought die pairing present as nicely as this.
