    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

    It needs a clean sum heavy encrustation on there but well worth £3

    The detail may be great but not the actual history - cliffords tower was actually made of wood circa 1100 not stone as on the token there are reports that it burned down circa 1190 and was rebuilt in stone , therefore the picture on the token is a pure fabrication of the real thing

    1888 is a scarcer date farthing in that grade but 1886 is very common due to a high mintage and a hoard found a few years back
  21. copper123
    there was a pile of bu***rap in the press the other day saying that along with the kew gardens 50p these coins are rare and worth £15 Dont belive the hype you should try a few coin dealers first to find out their worth , i will give you a clue its somewhere between 49p and 51p
  22. copper123
    The 2000 penny coin is in fact more common with a billion minted

    darn it maths was never my fav subect By the way valueing this stash at £1.50 each is to say the least a bit overoptimistic , probably about one in 100 sell at that price so it might take many years and lots of effot to sell them all individually
  25. copper123
    5 X 240 is not as you have worked out 1000 but a larger sum 1200
