Charles II tin Farthing 1684 AU55 NGC, KM436.2, S-3395, Peck-535. Increasingly difficult to obtain in any higher grade, this experimental tin issue is plagued with corrosion and almost never survives in Almost Uncirculated preservation, making this 1684 Farthing a considerable condition rarity. Original surfaces of a pastel silver-pewter color gleam with original mint luster, the central copper plug perfectly preserved and the strike very bold for the type; this very piece sold for $2,600 hammer in our 2007 Long Beach sale, and we can only anticipate its reception with collectors 12 years later.
