1771 British Evasion Farthing. Cobwright G.0230/B.0210, Atkins 488.Obverse legend GREGOIVS III PAX, reverse legend BRITAIN RULES. 24.8 grains. Fine, the obverse legend full and the bust with decent detail for the grade. The reverse is weaker, with the AIN of BRITAIN mostly gone, the rest of the legend and date visible, though sometimes weak, the seated figure sharp save for the branch in her hand. Medium brown, the surfaces nice, but the planchet was bent and straightened at one point – easy enough to do when it is this thin, about 1/3 of a regal farthing! A scarce variety.
