This specimen was lot 7611 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $100. The catalog description[1] noted, "JAMAICA. Farthing (1/4 Penny), 1910. Edward VII. NGC MS-67. A lustrous Gem, at the finest grade evaluated thus far by NGC. The surfaces are toned a light almond with a touch of gray." The official coinage of Jamaica begins with issues of copper-nickel farthings, half pennies and pennies during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). These denominations were continued into the reign of Edward VII with a minor change in heraldic shading on the reverse between the issues of 1902-03 and 1904-10. This type was issued 1904-10 and is not rare. Copper-nickel was selected over bronze as a concession to the humid and corrosive climate. In 1937, with the accession of George VI, the composition was changed to nickel brass and issued in this manner until the end of sterling coinage in 1967.
Recorded mintage: 48,000, a better date.
Specification: copper-nickel.
