Charles II farthings in that sort of condition are well sort after the halfpennies are even scarcer

Try to put in that part of the coin in boiling water and holding the top of the coin in a towel

Looks a bit like wax -

Personally I would not pay that amount for the coins but I must admit there are very few around in that grade and getting any sort of decent grade shillings or sixpences and half-crowns is a right struggle , go with your heart .

Exactly. There are no H’s on those two pennies, or faces on Mars or images of Jesus in toast.
You might see a flying orange flying man-baby in london complaining about us being late for the third world war (well they were late for the first two weren't they?)

Definitely not an H - as in all your pictures of the 1875H, the H is below the 7 and 5 whereas on your coin, the shadowy "H" is higher.
or not there

Another trial.

If we run short of food, we make a conscious decision to bugger someone/something else in life. We shouldn't have that right, or at least provide a quid pro quo to our ability to determine

"So what's King Kenny all about???"
For some obscure reason my friends called me that when I was at Chippenham College in the early 1970's. My first name is Kenneth but I prefer Ken. Not very interesting but hope this helps.
Not moved far have you LOL

A lot of the fakes are described as silver (they are not) they are base metal but it could be another way of making it difficult to these sellers by reporting them

Interesting coin the 5 shilling piece the old age pension was introduced in about 1905 or 6 and all over seventies got five shillings (A crown) to live on .
Over the years inflation increased its value to approx. where the old age pension is now £200 .Almost a eight hundred percent increase
Funny enough £200 was about the amount I paid for the coin about a year ago , it might fetch £250 now if i was lucky.
Lots of strange coincidences there though.

As a fun film "The madness of king george" is not bad , puts a lighter and more human side to Georges you even feel sorry for the king at times.

When I visited Wales many years ago, I came across an area where cafes and small shops gave prices in today's money and also the prices in ca 1900. If you want to, you can change your modern money into counterstamped Victorian / Edwardian pennies and use these in the cafes. This allows visitors to spend old money.
