Peckris Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Can I just throw a different one in - tanners. They are really cheap at the moment and if you want a long run, go back virtually to the year dot. Somehow or another, I just like the combination of silver colour and farthing size, and as I've said, cheap as chips!True, the overhang from the Bole collection is going to influence the market for a while yet.Interesting idea, but if I was happy with smaller coins I would probably stick with pennies as these go back even further. I just like the look and feel of the larger currency.A strange notion - that the penny is a "smaller coin" ! Quote

Collecting these would make sense but they just don't 'do it' for me. Quote
