I HAVE AN 1895 YOUNG HRAD FARTHING IN ABOUT EF CONDITION.OUT OF 2.8 MILLION ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY WERE THE YOUNG HEAD BEFORE THE SWITCH? ITS WORTH MANY TIMES MORE THEN THE OLDER HEAD ONE.LIKE TO KNOW THE HISTORY OF THAT. THANX

I have been collecting british coins for a long time and i'm just now getting around to the "model" coinage.What was the model coinage?how long did it run and why? I have krause,coincraft and spinks but cant find anything about it or the values.Where would i find that?---thanx

YOU GUYS HAVE HELPED ME IN THE PAST SO I'LL TRY AGAIN! I HAVE AN 1836 CORONATION MEDAL OF MARIA AUGUSTA AND FERDINAD OF BOHEMIA.THE OBVERSE HAS A PORTRAIT OF MARIA WHILE THE REVERSE HAS A CROWN ON A PILLOW WITH A SHIELD BENEATH IT. ITS 44 MM IN DIAMETER. ITS A GOLDISH COLOR. THERE IS A LARGER (70+MM) COPY OF THIS FREQUENTLY SEEN ON EBAY.IT HAS THE DATE ERROR OF-MCCCXXXVI(1336)ON IT. MINE HAS THE CORRECT MDCCCXXXVI(1836) DATE ON IT. HAS ANY ONE SEEN OR OWNS A DEFINITE ORIGINAL ONE OF THESE AND MIGHT KNOW THE SPECS AND COMPOSITION OF IT SO I CAN TELL IF MINE IS AN ORIGINAL OR A RESTRIKE?----THANX!!

EMPEROR OLI HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD WITH THAT PICTURE,EVEN THE SAME YEAR AS MINE!--GREAT JOB GUYS!

I HAVE A COIN I GOT ON EBAY.THE 2X2 SAYS "GERMAN STATES JEW PENNY" I SEARCHED THROUGH MY KRAUSE 'GERMAN COINS' BOOK AND FOUND NOTHING ON IT. ITS ABOUT ONE PFENNING SIZE,COPPER AND DATED 1819.IT HAS A SIMPLE SHIELD WITHIN A WREATH ON ONE SIDE AND A ROMAN NUMBER '1' ON TOP OF THE DATE WITHIN A WREATH ON THE OTHER.DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT THIS? THANX

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY INFO ON WHY THIS WAS MADE?SOMEONE THOUGHT BECAUSE OF THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR.I'M A YANK AND DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR.COULD THIS COIN HAVE BEEN MADE BECAUSE OF SOME COIN SHORTAGE.I KNOW ITS NOT AN OFFICIAL PIECE BUT WAS IT JUST A TRADE TOKEN OR WAS IT USED AS CURRENCY. THAT PICTURE OF THE 1669 FARTHING POSTED IS THE EXACT COIN I HAVE.---THANX

no,it dosnt look like that. the obverse is pretty simple,just says -kings lyn farthing-,each word above the other with a small rose at the top and the bottom.the reverse has 3 small hands inside of a shield. each hand appears to be holding a small cross.

I KNEW IT WASNT AN OFFICIAL PIECE,IT APPEARS TO BE MILLED. WHERE WAS KINGS LYN.THE SELLER SATS ITS FROM NORFOLK COUNTY AND WAS ISSUED DURING THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR. DOES ANY ONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
