1723 Wood’s Hibernia Farthing. Martin 3.3-Bc.3, W-12500. Rarity-5. Silver. AU-58+ (PCGS).71.0 grains. A very early acquisition by Syd, the first special Woods Hibernia piece he purchased. Beautifully and thoroughly toned in blue with traces of violet, enlivened by lustrous gold around the obverse periphery. A lovely example, nicely centered, well detailed, and showing abundant luster on both sides. A few very minor contact marks are seen, but the eye appeal and overall preservation are choice. <p><p>While this variety appears relatively frequently in silver, nearly every silver specimen shows significant wear. This is the highest graded of five pieces weve offered since 2016; the others ranged in grade from EF-40 to AU-58. Puzzlingly, the silver varieties that tend to come in nice grade seem to <em>always </em>come in nice grade.PCGS# 921470.
