tfred Pillar of the Community Canada 627 Posts	Posted 12/03/2014 12:57 pm I'm new to British copper, I collect mainly Canadian and hang around the Canadian forum. I picked up a lot of farthings in great shape and thought I would share one here. To me it looks perfect. There is a die crack running from the top down to the crown. The line coming off of the "H" appears to be a slight wave in the copper thats causing a bit of disruption in the toning. What are your thoughts on its condition as well as its value?

There are 4 types of which yours is type 1A, the other 3 have a letter variance. Great find, awesome condition Report this Post to the Staff
