1723 Hibernia Farthing Dei.Grati PCGS 64 Nearly Gem brown. Well struck. Pleasing surfaces. PCGS has certified 20 coins at this level with none finer. This farthing is from the coin series designed by William Wood under indenture to George I. Wood was authorized to mint 360 tons of half pence and farthings over a period of fourteen years. This type a coin is prized among collectors of American colonial coinage, though according to Mossman (p.134): 'There is no evidence of any substantial colonial circulation for these coppers . . . although it can be reasonably concluded that any current European coins could have ended up in North America, either brought over by the steady stream of immigrants or in the merchant trade.'
ND Kentucky Cent Lancaster PCGS 53 Well struck with some wear on the highest points of the devices. This undated token is thought to commemorate the admission of Kentucky to the nation, and thus is thought to have been produced around the time of admission of Kentucky as the fifteenth state in 1792 but before 1796 when Tennessee was admitted. Breen suggests the Kentucky tokens were popular and circulated throughout the American states, but gives no evidence for this statement. - Breen, pages 128-130.
