 1723 Wood's Hibernia Farthing. Struck in Silver. Breen 173. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Prooflike. A decent example of this rare off-metal variety. The piece is deep silver gray in color with dark iridescent blue highlights in the fields. The surfaces are bright and reflective with some flash remaining when the coin is rotated through the light. The strike is typical for one of these with some softness over the king's ear. A short lint mark in the right obverse field and some shallow planchet flaws in the lower right reverse field will serve to identify this coin in future. PCGS MS63.
