GERD New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 07/26/2011 7:10 pm Nice farthing. I've got some old farthings, a 1675 in fair, that one in the pic is nice condition. Report this Post to the Staff
molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 4:29 pm It's very collectible, I may say, it's a very fine to good very fine coin, most farthings from that era don't come that good. Stick to it!. (the ones I have are much worse than this) Report this Post to the Staff
robroy New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 10/20/2011 3:41 pm Hello, I have what appears to be the exact same coin except we find the date 1799 below the lovely lady instead of '1 farthing'. The flip side is the same as yours. Anyone have an explanation? Thanks. Robert. Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 10/20/2011 6:12 pm RobRoy, yours is, I expect, a halfpenny. What diameter is yours ? You can get an idea of the farthing, above, by the surrounding 2x2. The farthing is 23mm. The halfpenny of 1799 was 30.5mm. Report this Post to the Staff
robroy New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 10/20/2011 8:36 pm Thanks for the reply. Quite right. Turns out it is a half penny. I discovered this when I dug further into the bag and unearthed a farthing! ;) I'm having a real difficult time with one coin: Georgi VS III E Gratia on one side and W. Foster 1 d(d is underlined) on the other. Can't find it. What do you think? Cheers. Robert. Report this Post to the Staff
