1723 Hibernia Farthing. Struck in Silver. PCGS Specimen-64 CAC.. ON HOLD
Colonial coins struck in silver are unusual and special. Specimen coins from the early 1700's are even more treasured. The coin is as flashy as one could hope for in a nearly 300 year old coin – lightly mirrored surfaces with golden silvery toning on the obverse. The reverse has a splash of subtle pastel rainbow toning in the center. Colonial coins sometimes get a bad rap for are not being pleasing to the eye. Here is an important exception to that unfair generalization. The PCGS Price guide lists this coin at $17,250. I can't really argue against that valuation, as there have been auction records over the years for around that level. Due to a fortunate purchase at the Atlanta show though, this coin is offered to you at just ($12,950)
