Description

1760 Voce Populi Farthing. Nelson-1, W-13800. Rarity-5. Large Letters. VF-20 (PCGS).

52.46 grains. A charming deep olive-brown example of the elusive Voce Populi farthing, many times rarer than its halfpenny counterpart. The surfaces are hard, tight and smooth, quite unlike the typically encountered circulated survivor with sizeable marks and/or extensive environmental damage. Closer scrutiny does reveal a few tiny nicks in and around the central obverse, but they are easily overlooked in hand, and just as easily forgiven. Well centered in strike with all major design elements bold, this is a lovely VF for the type that will excite bidders. Accompanied by NGC insert #1576833-004 with a grade of VF-30 BN from a previous certification.

PCGS# 256.

From the Rancocas Creek Collection. Collector envelope with attribution notes included.
