argentumandcoins Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 This tin Farthing was actually named in an auction lot as a tin farthing of James!!!If Carlsberg did tin Farthings I can gaurantee you that they wouldn't do this one!Free to a good home, so if anybody wants it (at least the plug is good) drop me a PM.

Red Riley Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 It's a William and Mary, any fool can see that.Actually, if Carlsberg did tin farthings it's exactly as I would expect them. Quote

Then I thought I might just keep hold of it in view of the rising metal prices. Then I finally decided that it would at least be a type example for a new collector until they could afford to buy an overpriced one from me or you Quote
scott Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 what wouldi want with an unidenfitifiable tin farthing when i got one that is? Quote
Peter Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 The plug is GF....I thought my tin farthing was rubbish....I've stuck to copper including a few Lennoxs, Richmonds etcI really need to source a few varieties indicated from Colin's site.My half dozen 1859's include shamrock attached and unattached...not that I had really noticed....why I have 6 is a mystery...don't tell me about 1720 or 1721...I have more than you could shake a stick at.My parents have given me £100 for coins (birthday and Xmas) every year for the last 20 years...I did buy gold and hammered....a nice return.

ski Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 have to agree, its a james..........you were foolish to get rid of it though as its clearly the very rare lowtide,46 tooth border 8 over 7 variety. Quote
Peckris Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 have to agree, its a james..........you were foolish to get rid of it though as its clearly the very rare lowtide,46 tooth border 8 over 7 variety.No way! Didn't you consult your copy of Pleck? Quote
ski Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 No way! Didn't you consult your copy of Pleck? youre right, discovered its the even rarer 6 string in the harp variety, plectrum rate as r8 Quote
Colin G. Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I thought about selling that plug to Colin or Peter. That would never fit in my bath Quote
Peter Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I thought about selling that plug to Colin or Peter. That would never fit in my bath I thought you Northern boys had a tin tub in front of the fire. Quote
argentumandcoins Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 No Peter, HM Govt took them all back when they closed the pits.We have to stand outside when it rains now and we can't afford coal because it used to be free for miners but now they buy it in from Poland or somewhere.By eck lad, it's cowld up North!

Rob Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Black puddings from Bury market or tripe beat jellied eels any day. Though if I was abroad (or south of the Watford Gap), I'd still eat them. Not all foreign food is bad.And to get it back on topic - just about anything is more palatable than the tin farthing served up at the beginning of this thread. Edited February 11, 2011 by Rob Quote
