1840 Farthing - Help a newbie to confirm identity

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

Hope you're all coping ok with this bloody Covid-19??

My skills are developing as I gradually move from coin hoarder to numismatist. 

Can any of you lovely people help me to confirm the identity of this 1840 Farthing please?

I think it's - 1840-VA-1a/Ab - peck 1559 - Narrow date & stop after DEF

Am I right?

All the best,

Weaver (wayne)

I can't really say I know much more about farthings than anyone else, but based on the images on aboutfarthings.co.uk I would agree - obverse 1a and reverse Ab.

(I saw this post before but assumed someone with more knowledge would chip in!)

Thanks Paddy!

I was worrying that I had upset everyone 😂 and maybe those coin mats I recommended a while back were terrible after all 🤣

Appreciate the confirmation Paddy.

All the best,

I just had a look. Sold out now and your advert has resulted in at least 11 purchases by forum members out of a total of 24 available. 🙂

Honestly Sword, I should have been on commission mate! 🤣

But they are seriously useful little coin mats!

I've got a nice 1856 Nova Scotia one penny token sitting on it right now!

All the best,

Weaver (wayne)
