Peckris Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 The second one has crisper detail but has been buffed, so it's a no-brainer really. Quote

will1976 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 My latest unofficial farthings, very pleased with the Uxbridge school one, It's been on the wanted list for a very long time! The P & H is an upgrade for obvious reasons. While I'm posting these is there anybody else out there that collects unofficial farthings? I know the site is mainly for coins but it would be nice to hear from your out there 2 Quote
bagerap Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 I've not seen that version of the Uxbridge School before, very nice. Quote

It's taken a lot of searching for and the only example I've seen. I'm still looking for an example of the standard version as I'm 99% certain the copy I have is different but have nothing to compare it too. The tortoise seems higher of the ground Quote
zookeeperz Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Picked this up. Unlisted EBRITANNIAR 1881 sixpence. Although very subtle I hope you can see the underlying E beneath the B it's a little offset tilting anticlockwise 3 Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I tend to need things not quite that subtle 2 Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 In a similar vein though I picked up this VictoR/Bia last week. Apologies for the crap photos, its time to go for a beer so no full camera pics until later 1 Quote

Peter Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I can't resist a farthing.I bought a contemporary farthing from an antiques seller who insisted it was regal.It wasn't but banged them down to £5.It is so sharp I have used it to scratch lottery tickets...won 1K a couple of years ago.Nothing since the biggest F/O Indian meal ensued and Anglia Water were put on overtime. 1 Quote
Paddy Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I picked up this with a few other coins during the week from a non-coin auction. These are not my area - anyone with thoughts/comments as to whether it is right or not? I don't know any markers to spot the fakes with these - I just feel the metal is a bit too bright to be silver, but I may be wrong. Quote
Peckris Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 It could well be AOK - I saw a BU one at Warwick&Warwick a few years back, that was bright enough to be a petrol station football medal! But I was assured it was good. Quote

zookeeperz Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 well they ain't the prettiest ever seen but £20 wasn't a bank breaker 3 Quote

I have a few that are bright almost like aluminium looking. The contemporary forgeries are easy to spot as they are brass with silver wash usually. 1 Quote

Exactly my problem god knows what I actually could be sitting on potentially. I must of looked at this coin 100 times but never for any specific reason until I noticed it is unlisted 1872 Die 108 BRRITANNIAR Shilling 1 Quote
