(1663-72) St. Patrick Farthing, Silver, M. 1c.18-Ba.17, AU50
PCGS. Ex: Norweb. 99.8 grains. The majority of Mark Newby's St.
Patrick pieces known today are small diameter copper coins that are
typical called farthings, while the larger diameter pieces are
described as halfpennies. A few silver examples like this one are
sometimes labeled silver farthings, although in the Norweb catalog
they were called shillings. The Norweb cataloger called the
controversial gold example a guinea.Although lightly worn on the design high points, this pleasing silver version of the St. Patrick farthing exhibits lustrous light gray surfaces with splashes of gold toning. The surfaces are free of significant marks. Listed on page 11 of the 2026 Guide Book. Population for all silver varieties: 2 in 50, 10 finer (12/25).
