Voce Populi Farthing

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

55.8 grains. A charming light brown specimen of the elusive Voce Populi farthing, many times rarer than its halfpenny counterpart. There is actually no environmental damage on this coin, just some natural planchet roughness at the weakly impressed central reverse that did not smooth out upon strike. Some old, toned-over scratches are noted on the obverse effigy's shoulder; the surfaces are otherwise choice for the grade.

PCGS# 256.

From the Norman G. Peters Collection.

Estimate: 1200
