Lot 255
(1667-70) St Patrick Farthing B-213c, Griffee 42-9/9a NGC graded VF20. Slightly glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Reasonably smooth with only minor roughness, mostly in protected areas. No verdigris and the only notable mark is a dull nick on the left side of the X in REX. The strike is even and nicely centered on the planchet, and the legends are clear. John Griffee knew of 3 examples of the die variety, and this piece is superior to the example in his collection. Listed on page 43 in the "Redbook." The Eric P. Newman Collection provenance is noted on the NGC label. Estimate Value $600 - UP
Ex Eric P. Newman Collection.
