JasonKflo Pillar of the Community United States 1694 Posts	Posted 11/13/2020 11:54 pm I know nothing of these except they are beautifully designed coins. Anything to look for on these? I have seen a few with very nice color , great looking coin for the year. This one looks uncirculated to my eye. revised to say I thought it was glare at the top lettering area is that poor strike or was the lettering rubbed off? Not my photos or coin Edited by JasonKflo 11/14/2020 09:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 08:08 am 1799 dated Farthing was a one year type, designed by Conrad Kuchler. The first British coin with the full stated denomination on the coin, not just a number, and to have the date on the obverse. The 1799 was also struck as a gold proof, with plain edge at the Soho Mint, as a late striking, along with all of the proof versions of this date. (Probably struck also 1800 to 1805, all with 1799 fixed date) ( my opinion) Report this Post to the Staff
JasonKflo Pillar of the Community United States 1694 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 08:54 am could this be a coin not minted in 1799 ? That would be interesting but if I buy it I would want to try and have it graded though the letters near the top have either a poor strike or appear to be rubbed Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17947 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 09:50 am Attractive coin with plenty of lustre! I've seen quite a few 1799, 1806 and 1807 farthing and halfpennies with similar weak obverse lettering. I don't think there's any way to identify coins struck in 1799 from later strikes.
