Hello Arthur. You can find out a lot about farthings here: http://www.colincooke.com/coinpages/ccc_frontpage.html

Has anyone seen one of these before? It isn't listed anywhere as a known variety. V over a much lower V in Tertivs. Not simply a double struck letter. The underlying V is way out of alignment. Apologies. The condition isn't great, but the variety is very clear. Your thought please? Ta.

The UNC has wear to the cheek, neck, and hair. Nick is correct. Each coin is marked one grade higher than it actually is. Don't worry about it. We are all here to learn.

He should join the forum.

The 'Do Something' supplement which comes with today's Guardian is on the theme of collecting. It includes this:

Happy Birthday Paulus. Hope you have a good one.

Nor did he tell you what was his favourite pizza. What kind of a man is he? Likes dates on his, apparently? Very strange! ...and a milled edge. Though given a choice he'd probably prefer a bun…….

No worries. Got it. Thanks.

Looking for a second time. I'd actually probably say the opposite. Near VF reverse and a little less for the obverse.

When grading, don't forget the golden rule: 'Is it selling, or is it buying?'…….

Apologies Scott. I'm probably being very dim here, but I'm even more confused than before!

Near VF obverse. Slightly less than that for the reverse. You were right to question this, I think.

Michael Gouby is a very nice bloke. Always willing to find time to respond to emails about penny varieties. Pizza: So far. Trad 2 - Fruit 1 Sliced olives for the teams to suck on at half time?

In the words my daughter at the age of 4, 'Hello friends, I am here!' Never the modest one and always melodramatic, she has turned out to be a balanced, well mannered and sensible member of society. Who would have thought that? Sorry Stuart, don't do take away pizzas. Coffee is another matter. Nor me - not one of them does my favourite: Seafood pizza. Yet when I phoned Pizza Hut to challenge them on this, they told me they did do them in their restaurants! Pfffft. And while we're at it: who the hell was it decided pineapple would be something to use as a topping? No one Italian I'd wager….. I love pineapple as a pizza topping Fair dooz Colin. No offence intended. As my gran used today: 'It would be a very dull garden if all the flowers were of the same hue'…..

Yes, he loves correcting speling erors!

Mind, a Persian Chicken Biryani really does come with banana... Now were talking. There's a fine use for the contents of the fruit bowl!

PM Chris Perkins if it bothers you. He'll do it.

As in lifesize genuine 1933 penny? I'd go along with that E would certainly modify her 'anoraks' opinion if I were to bring home one of those. Scott. Found one yet? I'll buy it from you…..

Imagine what it must've been like having a couple of bob's worth cartwheels in your pocket. Braces must've been very sturdy things back then…..

My wife thinks we all need to 'Get a life.'

When are you getting your 1933 penny washer, scott? If there'd be anyone I'd put my money on to find one it would be Scott! If there'd be anyone I'd put money on to find one it'd be Scott!

9 over inverted 9 (aka 6)? Yes. I noticed too. Even if the seller had, which it appears they didn't, you have to admire the supremely optimistic grading and opening price!
