Could I get a value and information on this 1821 farthing with grade,

[Patinap]

1821 farthing, more information desired.

Spink value for 'Fine' grade is £3. Yours is less than fine. The coin's value has also been reduced by it having a disfiguring counterstamp in the reverse field.

Not worth anything at all I'm afraid. Sorry Patinap!

Ah but after the objective valuation comes the subjective. I wouldn't write it off: there are always completionists looking for a missing date in a run. A few collectors may want examples of counterstamps - People collect for different reasons.

[Nordle11]

Completionists probably wouldn't touch anything with a counterstamp on it..

Counterstampists might, like you say, but probably not. The stamp just looks like someone messing around as opposed to something like "VOTES FOR WOMEN".

[copper123]

"Votes for women in 1821" very forward looking.

"pears soap" would be more likely

[Nordle11]

I meant the relevance/historical value of the counterstamp, not my particular example.

But you knew that Haha

[copper123]

course i did

Funny enough George IIII farthings are very common finds and were hoarded by the public for some reason .

They were the first issue of farthings since 1799 1806/7 so there was a bit of a shortage of that denomination in circulation .

There were quite a few farthings made between 1821 and 1825 when coinage of pennies and halfpennies resumed , presumably the cartwheels and 1799 issue and 1806/7 issues were sufficient for the public's needs up til then.
