akeady Posted September 26, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2022 I mentioned these farthings in some previous thread - I bought a lot from Triskeles (Barry Murphy) some years ago - 2013 - and only today have photographed a few of them. There are 39 farthings and 7 farthing fractions. Anyway, this 1851 half farthing is of a variety I only found out about today - 1851 over 5851. I hope it can be seen in the photo' (being lazy, I use the same distance for all coins, from sestertii down to coins smaller than this, I should have zoomed in for a bigger photo') The bright spot on Victoria's neck s a piece of paper, not part of the coin! I look forward to what other varieties there are. ATB, Aidan. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
