- Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Farthing. Martin 7b.1-Ea.2, W-11500. Rarity-6. Copper. Large 8 Below King. Fine-12 (PCGS).
Deep charcoal patina in the fields is associated with roughness. The design elements are generally smoother with warmer golden-copper toning. Both the obverse and reverse are nicely centered on the planchet with the design universally bold at the assigned grade level. Patience is required to discern faint remnants of the brass plug in the upper obverse field between the crown and King David's head, as well as the large 8 at the lower border on the same side. Relatively shallow depression over the left half of the crown, although there are no marks of consequence. All in all, a pleasing Fine example of this Breen variety of the small size St. Patrick coinage.
Provenance: From the Bill Gleckler Collection.
PCGS# 42.
