1795 Washington Liberty and Security Halfpenny / Irish Halfpenny Mule.

1795 Washington Liberty and Security Halfpenny / Irish Halfpenny Mule. Baker-31M, D&H Dublin-9, W-11020. LONDON Edge. AU-58 (PCGS). An attractively original example dressed in a gentle marbling of autumn-orange, steel and mahogany-brown patina. Well centered in strike, although the upper left obverse exhibits scant denticulation, all major design elements are bold despite typical softness to the high points of the standing figure and in the center of the shield on the reverse. A few minor pits in the planchet and wispy handling marks are of no concern at the assigned grade level. The reverse, used on the Liberty and Security halfpence, is in a slightly earlier state than the Birmingham edged pieces, with the arc die crack present but not as bold. It is uncertain whether these saw circulation only in the British Isles or if some may have come to America with those that bore the Washington portrait obverse.
