 Undated (circa 1667). St. Patrick (Mark Newbie) Farthing. Breen 212. Sea Beasts Below King, Masonic Punctuation. 73.4 grains. About Fine. The upper reaches of both sides are quite porous, taking out much of the detail in those areas, while nearly full denticulation is noted most everywhere else. Splasher is present but corroded. A planchet flaw is noted through coin at lower parts of both sides. There is enough ''meat'' on this coin to give the pioneering die variety collector a good challenge.
