Another Rare Silver Saint Pat's Farthing Undated (Circa 1663-1672) St. Patrick or Mark Newby Farthing. Breen-210, W-11520. Silver. Nothing Below King. Fine-15 (PCGS). 94.7 grains. Nice smooth medium silver gray, very pleasant in color and appearance. A little granular on the reverse, a few trivial marks, rim cut at 1 o'clock relative to obverse, only the most minor hairlines. Well struck and ideally centered, just a bit worn. A good-looking example of this classic rarity. Different dies than any of the Norweb, Roper, Oeschsner, Picker, Boyd-Ford or Steinberg coins. PCGS# 45. Provenance: From the Ted L. Craige Collection. Purchased from John J. Ford, Jr./New Netherlands Coin Company on July 29, 1970.
