Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Farthing. Martin NO.3-NR.2, W-11500. Rarity-8. Copper. Good Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).
85.4 gains. Only two examples of this rare and enigmatic die pairing are recorded in the 2018 Martin reference, the offered coin from Syd's personal collection, and a VG- in Jim LaSarre's second collection. Syd was unable to classify the NO and NR dies by type due to the extremely low grade of the only known specimens.
PCGS# 915271. NGC ID: AUAR.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Clem Schettino; Jim LaSarre, December 21, 2009. The plate coin for both the obverse and reverse in the 2018 Martin reference on St. Patrick coinage, pp. 204 and 367, respectively.
