Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Farthing. Martin 1c.13-Da.1, W-11500. Rarity-6+. Copper. Nothing Below King. VF-35 (PCGS).

79.6 grains. A predominantly smooth honey-brown example with a few trivial pits and extremely faint pin scratches that remain well hidden. Die fatigue largely explains the softness of detail at the upper right obverse border and along the upper reverse, but otherwise we note bold Choice VF detail throughout. The expansive splasher is nicely centered on the crown. These dies are also known in silver.

PCGS# 915303. NGC ID: AUAR.
