1799 1 Farthing

[Rachel 0]

Hello,

Does anybody have a rough estimate of how much my 1 farthing would be worth please? It's in quite good shape considering how old it is

[Peckris 579]

Sadly "for its age" cuts no ice when grading coins, Rachel! It's rather pitted and damaged - the overall wear would place at Fine, without the damage. Which would mean it would have been worth £5 or £10 depending on variety (3 or 4 berries in the wreath). Sadly the damage would mean it's barely worth a couple of pounds, but it's a nice design.

Historically it's interesting, being the first farthing of the machine age, minted using Matthew Boulton's impressive new steam-driven presses.

Well it's a good job I'm not a coin valuer or all the old coins would be worth thousands

That is quite interesting, never knew that...Thanks!

You're welcome. (When I wrote it, I could actually hear a Roy Cropper voice in my head, complete with anorak, so decided I'd better make it fairly brief )

Hi Rachel

If you got a fiver for your coin I would eat my cardigan and slippers and possibly my wife's vest.

Coins really have to be in top condition....I have so many friends who produce worn bun pennies who expect them to be worth a fortune.

Have a look on Ebay to see what they fetch.

Hmmm, sounds like a challenge, might have to sell it now just to watch you eat your cardigan and slippers

[Peter 615]

Actually my cardigan is flavoured with Madras and Greene King IPA so I look forward to it.

Not so sure about the slippers and wife's vest.

Having a tastey flavoured cardigan is cheating...

Well, suppose the slippers would have a bit of a cheesey tatse to go with the flavoured cardi!

I do prefer quality fish and chips or even a good chinkie(and not to mention an Indian)....Luckily I eat salad and have to run around

in the shower to get wet.

[Peter 615]

[Peter 615]

Wrong if I team it up with roasted monkey nuts,qualty malt and another bucket of red.
