1860 UK Farthing Mule S-3958 | Rare Toothed/Beaded Border Variety | PCGS XF Details

Up for sale is a structurally sharp, highly significant 1860 Great Britain Bronze Farthing Mule (Spink 3958 / Freeman 498). This incredible transitional rarity features XF (Extremely Fine) details, exhibiting remarkably strong design lines, crisp lettering, and clear separation in Queen Victoria's portrait hair layout ("Bun Head"). 

Important Condition Note: The coin is professionally encapsulated in a third-party grading service holder (PCGS/NGC) designated with XF Details due to past cleaning. The surfaces have matured into an even, dark Brown (BN) patina that handsomely masks the old cleaning lines under standard lighting. Because it was authenticated and detail-graded, its status as a 100% genuine, legendary 1860 mule error is completely assured. [1]

The essential diagnostic markers are sharply pronounced on this high-detail specimen: a distinct toothed border on the obverse flawlessly contrasting with a perfect, circular beaded border on the reverse. This is an exceptional opportunity for a serious British variety collector to add an elusive, certified transitional mule to their collection at a fraction of the price of a problem-free problem specimen.
