william Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 Shall we just go along with Spink and these other sites..? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 Nay they are wrong. Unless they mean tooth when they say bead?! No, that's stupid - they probably mean a beaded obverse..... Quote
william Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 No, that's stupid - they probably mean a beaded obverse..... But they must mention the reverse somewhere? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 It says "Wren" like that's helpful anyway subject closed: Beaded on Obverse, Toothed on Reverse! Quote
william Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 anyway subject closed: Beaded on Obverse, Toothed on Reverse! Chris, lock this topic, HM Emperor Oli declares it closed! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 Nay, I said the subject, the subject of the beading and toothing, closed, not the topic which is MJMD asking "Was this a good buy?" Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 8, 2004 Author Posted May 8, 2004 very interesting, and strange, maybe i should also start to collect farthings...anyway, are there any other diferent types of coins (apart from farthings and pennies from 1954 - 1961) from 1953 - 1967? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 No, go for another area, then we will have a balanced range of knowledge on the site. I don't know about any other types between the dates listed as I only do farthings there! Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 9, 2004 Author Posted May 9, 2004 if you insist...strange: if you count the toothes on my farthing as beads then i would say that it is a 2+B type...but, i also have a beaded 1953 one which is also 2+B...how can this be? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 You don't need to count the teeth - that is not how you tell which type it is. Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 9, 2004 Author Posted May 9, 2004 You don't need to count the teeth - that is not how you tell which type it is. i said if you count (use) the teeth as beads... Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 strange: if you count the toothes on my farthing as beads then i would say that it is a 2+B type...but, i also have a beaded 1953 one which is also 2+B...how can this be?The only variety in QEII is the 1953 type. The obverse is beaded and the reverse is toothed - this is true for ALL QEII farthings. Other than that, I don't really understand your question......What is the date of the first one you mention? Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 9, 2004 Author Posted May 9, 2004 ok, i'll put it this way: i have 2 1953 2+B farthings, one is my toothed one that you have seen, but the other is beaded on both sides, they are both 2+B... Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Beading on both sides isn't one of the varieties I know of but then again there are six and I only know four. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 I also heard that there are six. I am curious to know what they are because I can't find then in any of my books. Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 They're listed in Collectors Coins but I don't have a copy..... Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 We might soon if Chris has anything to do with it! Quote
