(1670-1675) St. Patrick Farthing, XF45
W-11500, Conditionally Scarce Irish Import

(1670-75) St. Patrick Farthing XF45 PCGS. W-11500, M. 2c.1-Ea.8. Late die state with a break engulfing the right half of the snake. St. Patrick farthings were issued in Ireland, and later exported to New Jersey by Mark Newby, where they were declared legal tender by the New Jersey legislature. The typical St. Patrick farthing is well worn and granular. But the present example is fairly sharp, especially on the church. The lower obverse is lightly granular, as is the left border of St. Patrick. Hints of verdigris are near the RE in REX. The brass splasher overlaps the left half of the large crown. Listed on page 38 of the 2024 Guide Book. Population: 9 in 45, 26 finer (12/23).

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# AUAR, PCGS# 42, Greysheet# 409)
