Lot Description

Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Farthing. Martin 1a.3-Ba.22, W-11500. Rarity-6+. Copper. Nothing Below King. VF-30 (PCGS). A well made and nicely detailed mid-grade example of this popular colonial type. Glossy medium brown with lighter color on the devices and a bit of brassy color remaining on the crown. There is a touch of underlying granularity but no marks of consequence. The legends and motifs are all fully on display, the strike strong and even throughout. An attractive type coin. PCGS# 42.
