    Thought I'd share a couple of old Ireland pieces I came into a few weeks ago via LordMarcovan and H8modern. Thoughts on condition and value are always welcome.

    1742 Half-Penny

    from my 2002 18th century Krause world coin catalog.

    KM#130.1 Ireland 1742, 1/2 Penny, copper

    grade/value

    F-$10.00 VF-$55.00 XF-$125 UNC-$250
    I am sure the prices are higher than these now
    not sure what coins grade is ? VG-F


    KM#150 Ireland 1823, 1/2 Penny, Copper

    grade/value

    F-$10.00 VF-$20.00 XF-$65.00 UNC-$225.00
    I am sure the prices are higher than these now
    not sure what your coins grade is ? VF-XF

    wait for more experienced Ireland collectors to give you grades on these 2...
    very interesting looking coins.

    here is a pic on Ebay not my coin that is graded MS66+ BN to show detail...

    Man, the detail on that ms66 coin is staggering. The harp is magnificent.

    No, I reckon Rocky Marciano. Part of his ear missing would have indicated Tyson.

    I'd be of a VG-ish opinion on both.

    I remember that 1742 in the source lot. Cool coin.
