BRITAN NIA. Date 1771 in exergue. Mint state and extremely
scarce in top grades.
NGC graded Proof 61 Brown
.
* Peck notes that that the 1771 Proof farthings are similar to
the current farthings of 1771 except that the border teeth are
thicker and the rims are usually faulty. This specimen does not
disappoint on the second count and a large piece of raised
excess metal is evident on the reverse rim alongside the NNIA
in BRITANNIA. A slightly less raised piece of excess metal runs
along the top of the reverse rim for much of the left side of the
coin, and below the obverse portrait there is a raised piece of
metal. In fact a quick glance at plate 15 of Peck' s book shows
that his own specimen had similar die idiosyncracies!
