Hi

I'm just pricing up some coins for sale, but the latest copy of CCGB I have is 2007. In the bronze farthing listings I see ...:

1884 F £1 VF £2 EF £4 UNC £15 BU £30

1885 F £1 VF £2 EF £4 UNC £15 BU £30

but ..

1886 F £1 VF £10 EF £30 UNC £75 BU £90

I feel this must be a typo, as 1886 farthings are equally common as 1885 in high grade, and possibly even commoner than 1884. Would someone be kind enough to check CCGB 2009 for me please, and check these prices?

I do not have CCGB 2009, but the same prices are given in CCGB 2008.

Spink 2009 lists all three as: F - No price given; VF £1; EF £15; UNC (Full lustre)£50.

Coin Yearbook (2008) also prices all three as: F £1; VF £4; EF £20; UNC £40.

Thank you David - I think it must be an error. It's not that 1886 is a 'deceptively difficult' date after all! I've got 3 or 4 of the damn things, all EF or better. I will have to tell Chris that in this instance, CCGB is wrong.

I would agree they should all be similar, if anything the 1886 is probably the easier of the three to get in BU.
