- Rare 1723 Wood's Hibernia Farthing in Silver 1723 Wood’s Hibernia farthing in silver. Martin 3.2-Bc.10, W-12500 var. Rarity-5. Silver. SP-63 (PCGS). 70.1 grains. A beautiful example of this popular off-metal delicacy. Highly reflective surfaces show pleasant golden toning, with steel and pastel blue that deepens at the rims. Nicely preserved and very well struck, with rarely seen details on the face of Hibernia. Only light hairlines are present, not to be confused with the raised horizontal die finish lines that run perfectly parallel near the central reverse. This die marriage is known to have struck exclusively silver specimens. The exact purpose for their production is unknown, but true Gems are rare. This one is prettier than typically encountered. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of the David Spence Collection, March 1975, lot 701. PCGS Population: 11; 15 finer.
