1841 Queen Victoria halfpennies.

Hi Colin.

Now there's a coincidence talking about cleaning coins and you knowing your farthings. I was just looking at a 1674 Charles II farthing on ebay which is on auction with no bids as yet. Plenty detail though cleaned. Shame really.

[Colin G.]

You will often find that many earlier copper farthings that show that harsh cleaning appearance, but with good detail are often Thames washed (mudlarking finds).

The same seller has now started listing 1834 Farthings i was told about a while ago for anyone who may be interested in them 

[declan03]

Hi PWA.

It must be a different seller.

Oh right, i forgot you mentioned that. I only have the account from which i purchased the coin from unfortunately.  Thanks for keeping me updated though. And sorry i seem to have typed the last message in twice.

[PWA 1967]

Look at completed listings 1834 farthing one sold this morning.

[PWA 1967]

Having bought a couple of the farthings due to them being so nice as the half pennies were , i got the added bonus of one being the W.w. as sold in the March LCA.

Dont know if it is really worth much more than a normal one as possibly hyped up in LCA but nice to have one thats different 

Can anyone tell me the best Quadrum size for the Copper halfpenny and farthing please ?.

Just found this thread 

 

The guy contacted me direct, months ago, he did have a story (I can't remember what it was, the story didn't sound entirely kosher but the coins looked great).  He was keen to get rid quick, all in one go, but wasn't happy with the price I offered him, got quite shirty in the end so I didn't pursue it further - it wasn't worth the grief.

Seems he gave up trying to offload them all in one and went down the eBay route.  I'm glad most of them seem to have ended up in the right hands!

Thats some more of these surfaced (on the FB page ) wonder if its the same seller ,quite a coincedence that another lot have appeared .And if it is the same seller ,how many does he actually have ?

[mick1271]

Might be a bit soon? I'd have thought the market would be fairly well flooded at the moment. I mean, even Pete's got a couple (probably needed two to make it up to a penny).
