Lot 21
(1688) Holt's American Plantations tin farthing. Sidewise 4 in 24. PCGS graded MS-62. As nice as this issue is ever found, the surfaces show only the slightest tin pesting which appears as roughness. The original tin planchet shows bright white areas in the protected areas of the devices and lettering, with the open fields and upper devices a light gray color. Sharply struck and well preserved for the issue. PCGS in their online Population Report show only 6 graded this high, and none graded higher! An important colonial issue.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
