Hi

It looks like William and Mary farthing in GF condition...

on Ebay it would probably make £30 to £40.

Can't see that clearly, but by the condition of the busts, it looks to me as if GF is an underestimate. Probably VF is nearer the mark, and by that token your figure of £30 to £40 is also an underestimate.

I concur with your opin. ;)

Hi,

nice coin, as said - William and Mary farthing, Peck, B.M. 619 Single exergue line.

Spink is way to high for W&M farthings. I have no idea why, it's annoying because it

distorts the market.

Yours would normally be described (by reputable dealers) as NVF (Near Very Fine).

A fair eBay price would be £50 -£60 more on a good day, but I have seen many worse coins offered for

twice that - and not sell.

I have 15 of these - mostly different varieties. I like them but no way are they as rare

as most guides claim.

I bought this coin, along with several others in a market in Germany several years ago. I mostly have gold sovereigns but have about 2 dozen coppers-- most of which I know nothing about

I bought my NVF from a well respected dealer that is why I gave this one GF.

It is apparent most people over grade early copper.

Nice examples are fairly rare.

This one certainly has eye appeal.

Hi,

Nice examples are very scarce, especially W&M and William III.

I will compromise with a Bold GF if you like.

Do you have a picture of your W&M? I always like to see a quality farthing.

My W & M was purchased pre computer days so I couldn't swipe a proffessional picture from the dealer. :ph34r:

I'm currently experimenting with my scanner but feel I will end up spending out on a decent digital camera.

My girls have a Sony point and shoot and this beats my scanner.

Just to whet your appetite the obverse is fantastic and the copper is top class

Peter.
