I didn't know that the older, George IV coins were that much larger- that farthing's a really neat example! Correct and I have just corrected it to a half sov . Tarnishing them turned them black looks like its coated in tar Cheers Don Vickies cents and GB Farthings nut. "Old" is a figure of speech and nothing more Report this Post to the Staff
