Description

1749 George II Farthing. Spink-3722, KM-581.2. MS-65 BN (PCGS).

The farthing counterpart to the George II halfpenny of the same date offered above, and also an American colonial type due to the dispatch of examples to New England as reimbursement for the 1745 capture of Fortress Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island. This is a lustrous and frosty Gem with traces of faded mint-orange color remaining to otherwise golden-brown surfaces. Smooth, hard and tight with a generally full strike and abundant eye appeal.

Estimate: $1000
