Post Your United Kingdom (Great Britain) Coin Acquisitions.

Mostly an unloved generation of coins Personally I can't get enough of them . Delightful series of coins were the farthings. This is much nicer than the pic. was using close up scope on this so we get the detail but lose the true colour and lustre to about 70% First year of the un blackened farthings as the stopped making the sovereigns 1918. There must of been some dumb people about if they couldn't tell the difference between george and the dragon and Britannia

Nice coin Zoo!

Added an 1834 Half Crown.

Lovely addition.

Picked up another Gothic Florin, I love these coins and buy them when they are affordable and not all marked up. This one is an 1859.

Wasn't sexy at first glance. Picture looks nothing like the coin. In the hand its a little better than Fine but a really poor strike but it's unrecorded 5 over 8 or 6 . I am edging towards it's more likely a 6 as I can see the curve outside the left edge and part of the loop inside. If it were an 8 or another 3 I would expect to see more metal on the right side unless its rotated but nevertheless now becomes Rare very seldom we see overdates on the 3rd numeral unless they are double over punches like 50/49

1853 Copper Farthing 5/6 Over date

The 1853 farthing is known as a 5 over a damaged 5.
Although like most coppers opinions will often differ , I remember seeing one in hand and reading a discussion of this type and two fives seemed to be conclusive.

1898 UK.
One penny.
