Chump_Change Pillar of the Community United States 618 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 05:59 am Dawson my son and I have gone to 3 different shops and he searches the bins and I have come up with a Farthing for him. He likes the birds on the coin. I think they are kind of cool so now I have bought two of them. 1953 and 1949. Now I have none of them as he has acquired them and loves them. My question is what years were these produced? Thanks in Advance Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16862 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 07:10 am Farthings go all the way back to the middle ages, when they were tiny silver coins. But the small copper ones with the bird date from the period of the reigns of George VI and Elizabeth II: from 1937 every year up to when the farthing was stopped in 1956. There are four different obverse types of these "wren farthings": George VI IND:IMP (KM# 843), George VI no IND: IMP (KM# 867), Elizabeth II BRIT: OMN (KM 881) and Elizabeth II no BRIT: OMN (KM# 895). Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

You could probably get all 20 of them for around a hundred dollars in uncirculated condition. So they should be nice and cheap in circulated condition from bargain bins! A nice round number to collect too. Hope he has fun! Report this Post to the Staff
