Lot Description

1724 Wood's Hibernia Farthing. Martin 3.9-D.1, W-12600. Rarity-4. AU-58 (PCGS). Gold Shield Holder. Premium Choice AU quality for this scarcer Wood's Hibernia issue. Nicely centered on the planchet, the strike is well executed with most design elements suitably bold for the assigned grade. Satiny in texture with pretty lilac undertones to warm and inviting antique copper patina. A minor flan flaw at 7 o'clock relative to the obverse is easily overlooked and just as easily forgiven. Provenance: From the Xavier Ken Koike Collection. PCGS# 187. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
