Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Farthing. Martin 6b.1-Ba.8, W-11500. Rarity-6. Copper. Annulet, Small 8, and Martlet Below King. Fine.90.4 grains. A mostly chocolate brown example with some deep charcoal-gray color associated with surface scale that lines to left obverse and upper reverse borders. Both sides are microgranular, central obverse with a few faint pin scratches, although a loupe will be required to discern these features. The impression is well centered, lower reverse a bit soft, otherwise lack of detail is largely the result of grade-defining wear. The critical design elements below King Davids figure are all bold and easily seen. Obverse with a few shallow border cuds at right, toned charcoal-gray splasher at and around the lower right part of the crown.PCGS# 915255.
