Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Farthing. Martin 1c.4-Ba.5, W-11500. Rarity-6+. Copper. Nothing Below King. VF-30 (PCGS).A predominantly medium brown example with all major design elements boldly to sharply defined. The surfaces are a bit rough with light pitting, the protected areas around many of the design elements with charcoal-russet scale. The area over and around the crown is dark and granular, although one can easily discern a faint trace of the brass plug on the crown. Free of significant marks, this is a desirable mid-grade example of an enigmatic early Colonial era type. Scarce die marriage!From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. Acquired from Mary Sauvain, December 1992.
