Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Farthing. Martin 1c.10-Da.3, W-11500. Rarity-6+. Copper. Nothing Below King. VF-30 (PCGS).

102.8 grains. A most interesting example, the obverse shows a full, bright, brassy-gold splasher engulfing the obverse and bleeding into the surrounding field, while the reverse has two splasher fragments at lower left. Hard and glossy surfaces with peripheral highlights of steel-olive to dominant autumn-brown patina. Boldly to sharply defined overall and free of even trivial distractions.

PCGS# 915374. NGC ID: AUAR.
