hello, I'm a coin newbie and was just wondering if any of you could help me out, I have a 1/2 and 1/4 very small model farthings. I have searched the web and found the exact same as mine in links that I'll post on the bottom of this comment, what I can't figure out is a price.
I did as best I could to research these coins but hit a dead end. I did manage to find out that they are model coins made by Joseph Moore. they read as the following links will show, model D 1/4 1848, with the reverse side having a head and a "V" to the left, and an "R" to the right. the other coin is the same but instead of 1/4 it says 1/2.
they are extremely tiny, and in a little better condition than the ones in the pictures, all writing is visible, I'm not an expert, I know there are grades but dare not say it is something its not, if I had to guess, fine to very fine condition. (do grades apply to model coins? just wondering for my own knowledge)
here are the links, followed by where it is located on the page
http://www.aboutfarthings.co.uk/Mod...rthings.html underneath "series a" it says model D 1/4 1848 on the coin.

now my question is, does anyone know the prices of these coins?
i help my grandpa out at his antique store, but can not for the life of me, find a price online. I even searched the book, before realizing model coins are not in the world coin book, or even that it was a model coin. if any of you could help it would be much appreciated. thanks.
