 Undated (circa 1667) St. Patrick (Mark Newby) Farthing. Breen 208. Nothing below King. Reeded edge, but faint. 90.6 gns. Very Fine. Glossy, medium brown surfaces exhibit darker patination in and around the peripheries of both sides. The strike is above average for the issue, and the centering is quite good. A couple inconsequential rim bruises are noted, as are some long since toned over pinscratches in right obverse field. Brass splasher is tightly centered below crown and is a lovely golden brown hue.
