Ok, i shall make a list when i have some more time

Ok then: (Not listed types of value): Quater Farthings: 1868 Proof. ER (Proof year not listed at all) 1868 Cupro-nickel proof. ER (Proof year not listed at all) Farthings: 1847 Proof. VR (Proof year not listed at all) 1880 3 berries Open topped '8'. ER 1882 H Broken F in FD. S (Scarce, but far commoner than non-broken F in FD type) 1883 Broken F in FD. R (Not as rare as non-broken F in FD type) Halfpennies 1839 Bronzed Proof 39/43. VR 1856 Bronzed Specimen. ER (Proof?) 1858 8/7 Large date. (Only small date listed) 1860 (copper) Proof. ...more later maybe (Edit: 1500th Post )

Ok

Maybe...but i think that if collectors knew that CCGB books offered a lot of year varieties then they would try to get hold of a copy...I would.

You can use my Type B 1881 H farthing's picture I think that it would be best to start a topic in the Research Forum about varietties that are not listed. The more varieties the book has, the better sales it should make

Here Is this a die flaw or just worn? Part of the border rim on the reverse is worn at the top right side. The teeth are still there and un-worn, so is this a die flaw?

The Nathaniel Strickson Farthing token is quite nice...and yet I do not usually get attracted to token coinage...hmm...I may consider a bid if it goes no more than £15

Well...welcome to the forum, Martyn (if thats your name)...it is allways nice to see new faces

Sure ...there are many types that you have missed

@Chris and Peter - I did a thing a while ago covering the types and rarities of farthings, excluding Victoria Bronze, from 1838 to 1952...i can email this word document to you if you like

Thats why its so expencieve...

I don't have much doubt bout it... Like counters from tiddlywinks(sp)

Well done indeed Ebay can sometimes be a great asset...

Ah right, i get it...

Huh...where did that one come from?

Its normal tide aswell...hmm!

Broken set coins sell for more than they should as there is more interest in single coins rather than the entire set.

I have this 1971 penny that seems to have been struck more bold than other 1971 pennies of the same grade... Normal 1971 Penny Bold Strike 1971 Penny Why would this be?

Hmm...hadn't thought of that...

They do sound like the Chinese type to me...they are about the size of a halfpenny... Like this: Linky?

Happy new year all

I believe that that has already happened...has it not?

I can't really say that i disagree with you there oli...

Do you have any other farthings between 1898 and 1917? If you do, hold it up to your darker 1918 one. You may notice that the 1918 farthing just has normal toning, the darkened farthings are generally quite darker than normally toned farthings...
