That's a beautiful 1862 farthing. May I ask what the grade is?

It's graded by CGS as 90, but from what I've read, CGS grades are generally a bit higher than what you'd expect from either NGC or PCGS. There was another 1862 farthing that they sold at auction a year ago which was also graded CGS 90, but it was stated in the blurb that it was formerly graded by NGC as MS65RD. So as a yardstick, I'd say this was around that mark or maybe a tiny touch better. The lustre is astonishingly beautiful in hand. Edited by Kipster

Finally got round to taking some pics of this new arrival. An 1826 bronzed proof farthing.   |

Finally sat these giants of my collection down in one place for a group portrait. At center is Withers 376a, flanked by two Withers 376. The copper 6d tokens issued by the Birmingham Workhouse are Britain's largest/heaviest/thickest ever. This post should be considered a teaser, or the "trailer," if you will. That's because I've posted more photos and much prose about these seldom-seen rarities at http://goccf.com/t/436779.( jbuck, with my apologies for any redundancies, this is not one of the photos already appearing elsewhere...didn't want my fellow exonumismaniacs to miss these tokens! Many thanks for your patience...) Happy holidays to all! Tom Unless I screwed something up, this image should enlarge considerably with a click or two.

daltonista - those copper sixpenny tokens are amazing! My own addition yesterday was slightly later and more ordinary - an 1821 halfcrown. I was gifted it by a friend who had asked me to look through his extensive coin collection and accumulation and give him an idea of the value!  |

And what a nice gift, a gorgeous George IIII half crown.
Princetane would love it. I hope he returns soon, I miss his storytelling. I hope all is ok with him and home.
