Hi all, ive just aquired this lovely 1839 two pronged trident farthing, its condition i would say is quite good, tried to find a value for this, to see if its worth more than i paid.. what do you think ?..

Jason, The guidebook shows 200 pounds in EF, but I think that is a little high. I have one about the same grade as yours, but I don't remember what I paid for it.

Hi Jason,

Nice coin - worth a few pounds, £5 give or take a couple of quid.

I am sure that Bob C. did not mean to imply that your coin is EF - or close.

Fine I would guess - from seeing one side.

Bob is also correct that £200 for EF would be very steep!

All the best

I have an EF one if anyone wants to offer me £200, or I will swap you for an 1840 2 pronged trident

Teg,

You are correct...I did not want to imply the coin's grade at EF. I was using the CCGB price guide, and the only circulated price it had for that farthing was EF. That was just for reference.

I just bought a 1823 farthing with Roman numeral I for a one. It is supposed to be VF, but here in the USA, that could mean anything from Poor to VF. We don't do a very good job of grading GB coins!
