Another Farthing issue 1839 this time

[Jamesred 1]

Its me again.

Have a new issue with a farthing here, the 1839 has 3 errors??

1. 2 pronged trident - clear to see without magnification

2. No stop after DEF

3. On the B of Brittianiar, it is not all there (see pics)

Is it normal to have as many on one coin??

Thanks again

Hi James,

I have just checked my 1839 2 Pronged Trident farthing and it is exactly the same, uncomplete "B" and missing semi colon. The Semi colon after FID is just the lower dot, just like yours. This seems to me to be

commen, I maybe wrong though.

Hi James

A very worn die.....?

The missing stop/s look interesting.

Keep noting the varieties and maybe oneday they will get listed.

You will find almost every time you upgrade a 1/4d pre 1860 you find a variety...especially 18 century and earlier....now how many 1735's have I ???

I have another worn die too a 1868 i think (at work just now), Second 8 on it looks like a B, think i need to upgrade my eye piece to the one with the light and 10x mag. on six at the mo'.

I have noticed so many variations on the farthings especially, im finding it hard to note them all.

Does anyone have any good recording programmes for coins??

I am beginning to wonder why i started going through this lot now!! i have every year of farthings now from 1806 ( i think) bought some from Cooke coins as well and got great quality from there.

I will buy more from him as service was good. Any VF or fair coins i am upgrading.

....... also why does Spink not record the 1882??

Cheers folks for all your help and comments
