PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 02/15/2018 2:34 pm Here is one you won't see very often - a Tin farthing from the reign of Charles II dated 1684 (date on the edge). Tin was very unpopular with the people and prone to rapid degeneration, so getting any in a readable state is difficult. Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 02/15/2018 3:59 pm Tin blight or Tin pest is usually caused by low temperatures as I understand it. This coin is kept inside and I have had it for ten years or more without deterioration, so it seems to work! Report this Post to the Staff
