Lot Description

Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Farthing. Martin 1c.7-Ca.3, W-11500. Rarity-6+. Copper. Nothing Below King. VF-25 (PCGS). 92.2 grains. Choice, appealing light brown surfaces. Smooth and glossy with no serious marks and just insignificant traces of microporosity scattered about in a few places. Nicely struck and well centered, a straight planchet clip outside REX affects just the tops of a few letters. A large brass splasher covers the entire crown and extends out to the surrounding area, even down to King David's hand and the harp strings. A charming example of the type. Provenance: From the Bill Gleckler Collection. PCGS# 42. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
