Dearborn Moderator United States 103833 Posts	Posted 07/17/2024 4:06 pm So that would make Hondo's half penny closer (although mine is only one year off..) Collecting since 1972.

bd251 Pillar of the Community United States 1870 Posts	Posted 07/17/2024 7:27 pm triggersmob is the winner with a 1892 farthing Between Hondo and Dearborn, it would have been Dearborn because Hondo posted a young head (first portrait), not bun head (second portrait). Quote: nice coin Hondo. What is a farthing in relation to a penny or half penny? The half penny and penny are both very nice, with good reverse details. Your question happens to be very relevant to the specific farthing that I posted. It is part of the Crichel House cache which was paid for a bet over which raindrop would reach the bottom of a window first. The loser decided to pay the full 5 pounds in farthings, the smallest denomination available in the UK. One pound was 20 shillings and a shilling was 12 pence. With a farthing at 1/4 of a penny, that's 4,800 coins! Many of these farthings (I think it was around 3,000) were later found in the Crichel House, still with their bank wrappers.

Dearborn Moderator United States 103833 Posts	Posted 07/17/2024 7:52 pm Very cool BD!! So I came in second AND had a good question to boot! (sometimes I amaze even myself - which is very hard to do) And thanks for the history on your coin! (I just found one for sale for $99.00 and bought it (NGC Graded MS65RB) I like odd coins with weird histories... Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

(I just found one for sale for $99.00 and bought it (NGC Graded MS65RB) I like odd coins with weird histories... Same! That's really the main reason I have this one. Cool story and reasonably priced. BTW I think they are all graded MS65-RB. Report this Post to the Staff
