UPINSMOKE Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Just wondering if any members have any Encased Farthings they would like to part with. I .am trying my hardest to put a collection together. Anything considered.
Richard2 Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 I haven’t got a price in mind, what are they worth to you
UPINSMOKE Posted April 16, 2018 Author Posted April 16, 2018 Thanks for the pictures. I have sent you a PM regarding the Encased Farthings.
Paddy Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 I have picked up this one today @UPINSMOKE - not in great condition, but it may be one you need? PM me if you want it.
copper123 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Were these things "Pocket pieces" or lucky coins - I cannot think of any use for them

Although there were produced within the UK, they are far more popular within the USA. I am sure they were also produced as lucky coins as well. I have a few with "Good Luck From" printed on them.
