Are the St. Patrick farthings the ones that have the yellowish metal added where the crown is?
I'm between XF40 and XF45, but it's a nice coin regardless of what the grade is.
Yikes! Aren't those just an Obama sticker stuck on a half dollar? I'd say you did better getting the silver halves under melt.

I would think that those would have to be outliers; the 2000 probably spent more time in circulation than the 1965 did. There's a pretty strong...
I bet some vinegar and some TLC from a wire brush could get that "unsightly" color off of it... Just kidding! That is a beautiful coin. It...
