1730 farthing

Recommended Posts

Colin G. may be expecting this!

I got a new 1730 today (the top one with a flan clip)

EF with some subdued lustre - the pic is washed out.

Obviously different dies to the one bellow -spacing etc.

However look at the olive branch bellow Britannia's hand.

The top one is more of a tree than a twig!

This gives me the excuse to call it a variety - and keep

both coins.

Teg,

I agree, it would definitely be a variety in my eyes, it at least gives me some consolation to know it has ended up in a fellow farthing collector's cabinet!! Your scan makes the coin look better than the ebay image did.

Would you have any objections to me adding your images to my G2 image pool ready for that section of the site. I have that feeling you may need to assist me when that time arrives ;)

Great coins. I'd surely keep both.
