Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Farthing. Martin 1c.14-Ca.6, W-11500. Rarity-7. Copper. Nothing Below King. VF Details--Damage (PCGS).73.4 grains. A neat coin with not one but two brass splashes-one where it should be on the crown, and another at King Davids feet! Bold, upturned rims have protected the peripheral legends, the central devices are weakened by some central planchet flaw or waviness. Deep mahogany-brown and tan with some buildup in the peripheral legends, this coin boasts more fleeing serpents at St. Patricks feet than do most farthings.PCGS# 915304.From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) sale of the Brian Danforth Collection, January 2009 Americana Sale, lot 7023; Jim LaSarre, December 2009.
