Lot 2475
Great Britain. Farthing, 1771 first 7 over 1. George III, first issue of the Tower Mint. S-3775. Unpriced in Spink above VF! This could be the finest known, as it gleams with mahogany-brown luster and is sharply struck with crisp details and none of the die-crumbling so often seen on coppers of this era. Hints of red luster remain. Our estimate could be on the low side as Spink values it at £175 ($350) just in VF grade. Very rare!. NGC graded MS-65 Red & Brown.
Estimated Value $750 - 900.
