Lot Description

1723 Wood's Hibernia Farthing. Martin 2.1-Bc.1, W-12350. Rarity-5. DEI. GRATIA. REX. MS-61 BN (PCGS). 61.9 grains. Well struck throughout with all the devices sharply defined. The color and patina is mixed with deeper brown areas blending with patches of red, with micro porosity in a few places. Middle die state with the usual clashing-crack through NIA 1. The surfaces are clean from handling in general, as there are no deep scuffs or nicks that warrant attention.
