Your picture is even smaller than the thumbnail, and it's only 9k. You have 150k to play with - can you post a bigger picture?

Does it match Nicholson 122? i.e. is it from the same reverse die? The image is too dark to tell and it would help if the whole reverse was present.

Basil Nicholson had the most comprehensive collection of halfpennies in recent times, sold via Colin Cooke in 2004. This link goes to the William III section and 122 is the 1699 stop after date. Your coin is not from the same reverse die, but the picture is too dark and the pitting makes it very difficult to say for certain what is in the exergue. A different die doesn't exclude a stop after the date, but the condition of the coin raises questions as to whether any apparent stops are genuine or artefacts arising from corrosion.
