Re: "To Hanover" (Cumberland Jacks)

[Colin G.]

All,

Following a few recent questions, I have received, I decided to add a few pages giving some limited information on counters/tokens that are commonly associated with farthings. One of these being the "To Hanover" counters, the bizarre thing is that I do not have one to hand (I am sure I had one somewhere ). Does anyone have a photo of one of these counters that they would be willing to contribute. If you do, can you e-mail it to me.

Colin, you might also want to look at Columbia farthings, these were minted, as far as we can tell in the early 19th century and come in many varieties. Most have a 'bust' on one side and either a 'Britannia' type figure or a standing Justice figure on the other.

There are many theories as to what they were made for and I would be very grateful for any help or ideas on the subject.

Colin,

Here is an 1830 "To Hanover." Let me know if this is what you are looking for. I can probably get a better picture, if this is what you need.

Thanks Bob images received, I really appreciate you taking the time to submit them. I have one last favour for the forum viewers, does anyone have images of a lauer farthing they would be willing to contribute?
