Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Farthing. Martin 1c.28-Da.9, W-11500. Rarity-6+. Copper. Nothing Below King. VF-30 (PCGS). 95.2 grains. Medium brown with olive peripheries and light brown devices. Scattered granularity over both sides, a bit glossy in obverse fields. Splash subtle, excellent detail overall. Obverse nearly ideally centered, reverse aligned to 12 oclock with long denticles at base. Old horizontal scratch at central reverse. Sharper than a typical Saint Patrick farthing by a significant margin, a desirable type coin. Craige called this die marriage "Breen 2.15-E.7." From our sale of the Ted L. Craige Collection, November 2012 Baltimore Auction, lot 6128.
