    I find it strange you never remembered the coin in all these years even back in the sixties-seventies it was considered quite rare and was hardly a schoolboy collectors coin . Anyway congrats on the coin and I am sure if you sell it will pay for a nice holiday at least

    coin number three looks like a george 11 or 111 farthing , the other two are what i would call buttons and even scott would turn his nose up at them.

    I strongly suspect that the gunk on the coin has ment it's gone undetected over all these years , even the dealer missed it . It is in fact probably one of the great rarities of the bronze farthing series - its much rarer than the 1860 mule , and on a par with peck 530 - thats why it goes for silly money in any grade , I am sure only 50-100 exist and most are in well established collections .

    TYVM you lot I will hopefully put the coin on later - after treatment - like you lot said most anything you can do will improve the coin
