8 Labour resignations, now 3 Conservative ones. Worryingly frank statements from both sides. Extremists in both parties.  

With Brexit, the cliff edge of no deal gets ever closer. Now just 37 days away. Yet still Westminster clings to the obviously vain hope that the EU will give way on the backstop and re-open the deal for further negotiation. How unrealistically full of their own arrogant self importance our politicians are. 

What a complete and utter crumbling sad shambles our country has become.

 

I totally agree with you on this. As always they would far rather argue amongst themselves than try to sort out the mess we are in. More interested in who is in power that the job at hand.

What a nice example of one I do not have, very envious 😍😍 Thanks for sharing this with us.

[Encased Farthings Wanted]

Just wondering if any members have any Encased Farthings they would like to part with. I am trying my hardest to find more for the collection. Or perhaps anyone going to any coin fairs could look out for me if at all possible. Unfortunately, there are no fairs in my area and what collectors shops there are don't seem to have any. Anything considered, you can see what I have in the collection from my website link below. 

If any dealers on here can help get in touch, please. I am also after images of any Encased Farthing I do not have for my reference section on my website that any members are willing to share.I of course, will give you a mention. I do hope some of you can help please. 

[Encased Farthings]

Another for the collection. 1907 "Crockers Drapery Exhibition" seen better days but hey ho they are not easy to find 😃

[My Latest Acquisition]

Just added this to the collection. Not hard to find but with a better strike than usually found I think. Am I right in thinking that the 1903 - 1907 threepences are harder to find in top condition?

Photoscape has resize and batch editing. Free too.

I agree I use this as well. Also, use PhotoShop and Lightroom.

Got to say I like you running rabbit avatar! Really cheerful!

Thank you I thought it would be a bit different from the normal ones around and a bit of fun. Will have to change it from time to time, just to keep you on your toes.

[Encased Farthings]

Another addition to the Encased Farthing collection. Pleased with this one.

Not sure if this one fits into your target area? A friend of mine has it and may be interested in parting with it to a collector. It comes with an advertising paper from Richards of Sheffield - the manufacturer of the penknife.

Hi, Paddy thanks for thinking of me with this one. I have seen a few of these on eBay but not an area I want to go into really. Please still keep a lookout for the Encased Farthing with the aluminum surrounds though. Once again thank for the thought.👍🏻😊

I have one of these farthings. I was wondering how you date the issue of encased farthings. The farthing is 1886 but the ad is for a film made in 1932.

Hi Smithy and welcome to the forum. You have asked a good question there. I have been collecting these Encased coins for about a year now and to be honest, had not really thought of that. I have seen another with the same surround and dated 1929 so the theory that they were produced the same year that the coin was struck goes out the window. The only explanation I could possibly give is that when these were produced, perhaps the year that the film came out, is that they used whatever farthing coins were available at the time of production.

It certainly a puzzling one and worth more research into. Unless anyone else may have another theory that I have not thought off.

Glad you like them will add more as I find them.

Still hunting for Encased Farthings. Thought I would share a couple more that I received recently from a collector in Canada.

[Good selection from my collection on eBay auction]

I missed out on the ones I went for. 

[Encased Farthings]

Two more elusive Encased Farthings acquired this week.  First in EF+ condition and the second not so good about Fine, but still a nice find.

1953 Elizabeth II Encased Farthing "Speedwell Gear Case Co. Birmingham" 38mm

1937 George VI Encased Farthing “Grand Garage (Morecambe) Ltd” (J.R.Gaunt) 38mm
