UPINSMOKE Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I have a 1746 Farthing not the best condition, but have found that Obverse is upside down to the Reverse. I hope you understand when looking at the Reverse with the date at the bottom and you turn it over like turning a page in a book the head on the Obverse is upside down. My question is this normal or have I found something unusual. I only ask as I do not have anything else of that age to compare it with. Any help appreciated please. Quote

copper123 Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 grades as near fine - maybe slightly better - the sort of coin usually found in a £4 rumage box . Quote

Peter Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 It would make £15 ...£20 on Ebay easily. Quote

Peter Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 As long as you list in the correct category it will sell. Quite frankly 130,000 pieces of modern decimal crap puts me off ebay the rest being cu/nic in F. Gone are the days of decent coins...I do still look and occasionally bid but from a daily search it is now 2 weekly.. Quote
copper123 Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Oh come on £14.99 on a good day it might get a tenner (with a couple of suckers bidding), ok date is not as common as most but its certainly not rare Quote
