GREAT BRITAIN: Edward VII, 1901-1910, AE farthing, 1902, KM-792, S-3992, blackened finish as made, a superb mint state example! PCGS graded MS65. Due to the fact that on occasion uncirculated farthings had been passed off as half sovereigns, those struck between 1897 and 1917 were produced with an artificially darkened finish. The method adopted was to use acid fumes to darken the coins giving them a 'blackened' appearance.

Estimate: 75-100 USD
