1675 farthing

[Guest Terry Thomson]

I recently found a 1675 farthing with the R of CAROLO punched over an O. Does anyone else know of this error? Thanks.

Can you become a member and add a good picture of it? (by attaching a file).

If verified, I'll add it to the new area for unlisted varieties.

There is one on Colin Cookes web site (with an image)

It states it is rare.

It sold for £250 in AVF.

Oh really, well in that case I'll move this to the confirmed unlisted variety section.

I've now registered. My main interests are Canadian decimal coins, and Canadian Colonial tokens, but also like pre-1800 British coins. Here is a picture of the 1675 farthing with the R over O, and at the top of the photo is a 1673 farthing with a die break joining and going through the last O. (first time trying this so bear with me if I mess it up)
