Lot Description
1723 Wood's Hibernia Farthing. Martin 3.9-Bc.2, W-12350. Rarity-6. DEI. GRATIA. REX. MS-62 BN (PCGS). Gold Shield Holder. Ideal for Mint State type purposes, this lovely Wood's Hibernia farthing is boldly struck with a satiny texture to both sides. The in hand appearance is uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade, subtle lilac undertones to dominant copper brown patina adding further appeal. Late die state for this workhorse reverse with a prominent crack from the border after the digit 3 in the date. Provenance: From the Xavier Ken Koike Collection. PCGS# 176.
