Laureate, draped, and cuirassed older bust left; LIMA beneath / Crowned, cruciform shields around Garter Star; plain quarters. M. Faintich, "An Unlisted 1745/3 "Lima" Halfcrown," NumCirc June 1993, pp. 156-157; cf. ESC 605; SCBC 3695. Good VF, attractive toning. ($300)

Although this specimen exhibits some similarities to Faintich's criteria for this being an overdate, it is also possible that the marks could be construed as die chips.
