Dearborn Moderator United States 94812 Posts	Posted 02/10/2024 6:41 pm Well sort of. I've had these since 1984. Back then there was no internet to properly identify them, Now that I discovered Numista.com, and a few other sites, I'm better armed to id these. Way back then I was trying to collect one coin from every reigning King or Queen (I have 22 of them) and back then (I wish I had bought much more) only cost me pennies on the dollar. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94812 Posts	Posted 02/11/2024 07:48 am AH! OK - I see the difference now - tell me if I'm wrong here please. The leg of the sitting figure has the right leg extended on a Farthing, and is bent under with the left leg extended on the halfpence.. Also the spear is at the elbow not at the shoulder..

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 02/11/2024 08:47 am Those identifiers may help, but the main thing is the size, the farthing being half the circulation value of the halfpenny. After a while you will easily see that the proportions are completely different, even when you don't have a scale to compare it with. The farthings are much more common than the halfpennies.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94812 Posts	Posted 02/11/2024 09:49 am Thanks Paddy - not having one of each did not help in identifying it so I did not look at the physical sizes - a mistake I won't make again..
