1839 Quarter Farthing

[DaveG38 405]

I have just purchased a 1839 quarter farthing in EF condition, with the intention of selling my existing one, which is of a lesser grade. However, before I do so, does anybody know of any varieties of this particular coin, and if so, what the differences are? I haven't found any in any of my books, but I do seem to remember seeing some reported differences on the Colin Cooke site.

Thanks.

Dave,

I seem to remember there being a variety where the pearl numbers on the crown were different, but I cannot find reference to it at the moment. Eleven pearls either side of the crown is the norm. If I find the reference I will let you know.

Dave,

I just checked the Peck Book, and it doesn't show any varieties. It says the following.

P1608 1839 Rarity (S) Obv dies from Maundy 2 pence dies.

That doesn't mean, that some varieities may not have been found since the reference though.

ps Michael Gouby does not show any varieites either.

The 4 volumes of Batty sold on ebay for £357 finishing last weekend. Unfortunately I got waylaid and didn't get a bid in.

Many thanks to Bronze and Copper collector for the information from Batty. I've checked my two coins and both are identical and show none of the characteristics of the varieties shown. So I guess I'll have to sell the lower grade one.

Once again many thanks for the info.
