So, Brexit....What's happening?
UPINSMOKE replied to azda's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
I totally agree with you on this. As always they would far rather argue amongst themselves than try to sort out the mess we are in. More interested in who is in power that the job at hand. -

Just wondering if any members have any Encased Farthings they would like to part with. I am trying my hardest to find more for the collection. Or perhaps anyone going to any coin fairs could look out for me if at all possible. Unfortunately, there are no fairs in my area and what collectors shops there are don't seem to have any. Anything considered, you can see what I have in the collection from my website link below. If any dealers on here can help get in touch, please. I am also after images of any Encased Farthing I do not have for my reference section on my website that any members are willing to share.I of course, will give you a mention. I do hope some of you can help please.

Another for the collection. 1907 "Crockers Drapery Exhibition" seen better days but hey ho they are not easy to find 😃
-
Just added this to the collection. Not hard to find but with a better strike than usually found I think. Am I right in thinking that the 1903 - 1907 threepences are harder to find in top condition?
-
I agree I use this as well. Also, use PhotoShop and Lightroom.

Ok don't keep Rabbiting on about it then😁
-
Thank you I thought it would be a bit different from the normal ones around and a bit of fun. Will have to change it from time to time, just to keep you on your toes.

Another addition to the Encased Farthing collection. Pleased with this one.

UPINSMOKE replied to ozjohn's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yours looks far nicer than London Coins.😀 -
I have never heard of this forum before so checked it out. It seems to be working now Paddy.

Music to sort coins to

I am learning to play this on the guitar at the moment. Another favorite of mine. -
So much for the BIG BANG theory then🤣

Here is my only one a sixpence to start the ball rolling.

Hi, Paddy thanks for thinking of me with this one. I have seen a few of these on eBay but not an area I want to go into really. Please still keep a lookout for the Encased Farthing with the aluminum surrounds though. Once again thank for the thought.👍🏻😊

Hi Smithy and welcome to the forum. You have asked a good question there. I have been collecting these Encased coins for about a year now and to be honest, had not really thought of that. I have seen another with the same surround and dated 1929 so the theory that they were produced the same year that the coin was struck goes out the window. The only explanation I could possibly give is that when these were produced, perhaps the year that the film came out, is that they used whatever farthing coins were available at the time of production. It certainly a puzzling one and worth more research into. Unless anyone else may have another theory that I have not thought off.

Glad you like them will add more as I find them.

Still hunting for Encased Farthings. Thought I would share a couple more that I received recently from a collector in Canada.

Good selection from my collection on eBay auction
UPINSMOKE replied to Paulus's topic in Items For Sale
I missed out on the ones I went for. -
Two more elusive Encased Farthings acquired this week. First in EF+ condition and the second not so good about Fine, but still a nice find. 1953 Elizabeth II Encased Farthing "Speedwell Gear Case Co. Birmingham" 38mm 1937 George VI Encased Farthing “Grand Garage (Morecambe) Ltd” (J.R.Gaunt) 38mm

Thanks, guys for the explanation very interesting. I thought it was something to do with when it was struck, shows how much I know Back to school for me then.
