Sap Moderator Australia 16869 Posts	Posted 08/28/2011 9:03 pm As for the model this coin was taken from, it's not Canadian - Canadian coins don't have "FIDEI DEF" in the legend, and on British coins the "FID DEF" title appeared on the reverse of silver coins. This exact type of obverse only appeared on the coinage of Australia and on British bronzes, from 1949-1952. But at 20mm it's the wrong size for any Australian coin. Best match I could find for the size is the British farthing. 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
tokenmast Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 08/29/2011 2:27 pm Nice work Sap! Thank you Again Thinking about this coin, I could not figure why someone would go to all the work to make play money this exact.then it hit me if this was a counterfeit of a British farthing.then still not much $ .50 but if it was a farthing brockage forgery then big bucks well people do tell me about my active imagination So is that even a possibility ? pros.. for forgery...common issue ,big money. cons.. poor fields, fonts, ( snarl not smile;))and some kinda plating (not unlike some China forgeries) So? am I too far out there. OR opinions Please Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16869 Posts	Posted 08/29/2011 6:39 pm If it's a concocted error, I don't think it's an old one. Error collecting has never been as popular in Britain as in the US - for a long time, error coins in Britain were generally seen as defective, and therefore worth less than an error-free example. What colour is this thing? Apart from the silvery streak, it looks brassy in the photos; that wouldn't fool anyone. Maybe someone in America or Canada was simply making some King George VI buttons, using a farthing for their master die. 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
