Lovely Eddie farthing

[Coinery]

An annoying and hopeful wait for a lovely little farthing came to an end just 2 days before pay day! It was mine! I wanted it! I looked at it every day, hoping nobody else would spot it, and now it’s gone!

Bad luck mate. It stings a little when that happens. Hope you find another suitable candidate in the near future.

Not mine, sadly! Would have been tomorrow, though, had it not been spotted by someone else!

Bad luck, Stu  what a little gem too. It really annoys me when one has ones eye on a nice little coin and it gets whipped away due to procrastination/finances etc grrrrrr! The same thing happened to me recently on a lovely Edward I penny class 7a which was 'buy it now' on ebay, I was watching it all day on my phone, and when I finally got home from work and was in a position to buy it... it was sold!

A slight diversion - could anyone actually ID my previously refferred to, beat up little farthing for me please?

It'd be much appreciated, as far as I could get was Eddie. Farthing. Small (~10ish mm, its a 15mm flip)

@Descartes not this one perchance? 391903080227

i also watched this, thinking as always about how I could cook the books until month’s end! Things are getting better, so the past 7a and farthing will not pass me by so easily by in the future!

Thank you Coinery

It doesn't mean a vast amount (at the moment) but will probably give me hours of fun in the futire when I try to understand these hammered blighters.

Hi Stu,

Apologies for the delay. Was travelling home for Christmas! The 7a penny I was watching was this one. Serves me right for procrastinating... next time I see one, I will buy it instantly!  hope you have a great Christmas. Descartes
