Hi, They measure 20.19mm & 20.20mm. I don't have a ordinary farthing to compare them to. Looking for a magnet now Jon

Hi, Here they are what do you reckon? One weighs 2.84g the other 2.76 if that helps. Jon

Hi, He has had them since he was a kid when he used to collect a few coins. He can't rememeber exactly where they came from. He' is bringing them into to work tonight so I'll scan them and upload the pics so you can see them for yourself and make your own minds up as I'm no expert. Regards Jon

Hi, A friend of mine has two apparently cupro-nickle 1949 George VI farthings, the type with a wren on the reverse. The coins don't appear to be plated. I can't find them in my spink guide can anyone help ID them? Thanks, Jon

Hi, Thanks very much for the info! Jon

Hi, The coin has been identified as from the Bristol mint the reverse legend reads GODWINE ON BRIC. In my Spink book has a seperate price list for coins from individual mints. Does the mint affect the value of my coin? Regards, Jon

Thanks, The coin weighs 1g so I suppose that makes it the 18 grain coin. Jon

Hi, I found this coin yesterday with my metal detector. I think it is an Edward the Confessor Penny Spink 1176. Can you give me an Idea of how the damage will affect the value? I need to know to inform the landowner (I don't want to sell it) Thanks, Jon

Hi, I would like to purchase a good grade Edward the Confessor silver penny. Can anyone advise me where I should look? Regards, Jon

It's Edward II then, didn't he have an unfortunate encounter wit a red hot poker?

Hi, This is another one of my detector finds. Can anyone tell me which it is exactly I think its an Edward I Penny 1413 10cf4 am I right? When was it minted? Thanks in advance. Jon

Hi, I just wondered if any one knew what the dots of the reverse of a lot of hammered coins represent typically 12 on a penny, 3 in each quater of the cross, any ideas? Jon

Thats very interesting, thanks! Jon
