Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 733 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 09:59 am Lennox type 3b, having the flower privy mark both sides, six strings to the harp, and reverse inverted. Scarce in this condition? Another for an Everson attribution if you would please John. Thanks. Edited by Hogarth 11/13/2023 1:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 2:01 pm Unfortunately, this is one of the most common in good condition. I have 3 of them and I wasn't trying. There's also a (common) version with a die break over the obverse flower which also seems to come in great condition. Everson Lennox 2 25, S 2678. I wouldn't be surprised if it's only second most common to the Rose 4b 206a, which makes up half of all Rose farthings, but is usually awful. Report this Post to the Staff
Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 733 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 3:40 pm Cooke rates as 'rare' but, pinch of salt etc... Another which can go then. I have two or three others I have in the pile designated 'undecided' which I'll put on here in the coming days. Thank you as always John. Report this Post to the Staff

JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 11/14/2023 07:56 am Yes Everson rates it common, although his common ranges from those available by the ton to coins I have never seen. Lennox farthings are generally quite easily obtainable. There aren't many varieties or privy marks (comparatively) and they were made pretty well. Most rarities are what you might call specialist - 5 or 7 strings on the harp or a missing colon. Edited by JohnConduitt 11/14/2023 07:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
