<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 7853242, member: 105571&quot;]Clearly the Woods Hibernia farthing and halfpenny can never be &quot;US coins&quot; since in 1723 there was no United States.&nbsp; OK, trivial point aside, the coins were minted for circulation in Ireland - hence the name &quot;Hibernia&quot; - where they were not well-received and were recalled.&nbsp; However, some but not very many made their way across the pond to the American Colonies and they did circulate here to a very small extent.&nbsp; Thus, most references and most collectors of colonial coinage consider them to be pre-federation colonial coinage and thus eligible to fall under the general rubric of &quot;US coinage&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>In light of this, I consider them to be part of my US Type Set which includes colonials and I have included the farthing and halfpenny in my set.&nbsp; Photos below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1352699[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1352700[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
