These were washed with sodium thiosulfate to darken them and so distinguish them from the half sovereign. The dies were used freshly for the half sovereign, then re used for the farthing. It is this darkening that allows wear to show up on the high points of the design; the slight wear on those high points show up as a little paler than the darker surrounding areas. This factor makes it quite easy to distinguish those in AU grades from those in MS grades. Edited by sel_69l 08/16/2017 05:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
