Lot 565
(1667-1669) St. Patrick Farthing Breen-208 Griffee G1-4/1p Rarity-7. VF-30. Glossy chocolate brown with darker olive toning in protected areas. Sharply struck and quite attractive for one of these old coppers. All the legends and devices are complete and strong. There are traces of shallow verdigris in some of the protected areas but no marks or other distractions. A rough planchet void touches the top of the R in FLOREAT. Clearly superior to the Griffee example of the variety. Weight 78.8 grains.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
