MINT_MARQ Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/08/2009 7:29 pm Can anyone tell me about this coin? It obviously UK, but I can't even tell whether it is a penny or not? I am selling a ton of things to make up for a "lost in the mail" situation with the USPS. Just wondering if this would be worth auctioning. Ken Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 02/08/2009 7:40 pm I also think that it is a farthing. We'll need a measurement of the diameter in order to be sure. Report this Post to the Staff

MINT_MARQ Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/08/2009 7:59 pm This coin is about 7/8's of an inch. Just a hair bigger than a US Nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 02/11/2009 10:48 am Yep yep... no ruler required, it's a farthing; they're a bit stingy in here with details though, so mintage: 2,580,480; valued at 12 pounds in Fine in my book so a scarcer date - Victoria's Young Head (YH) portrait on obverse. Designs take up a lot of the space on both sides so you can easily tell it's a farthing. Edited by NumisMattyUk 02/11/2009 10:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
