Farthings

The 1909 I would give GVF whilst the 1917 probably around Fair. The fist might be 'worth' about £3 whilst the second has no obvious value. I have put 'worth' in inverted commas because that is purely a book figure; dealers are unlikely to want it other than as part of a bulk lot and you may struggle to reach that figure on e-bay. So make of that what you will!

I would agree with Derek entirely, you can see similar examples in my shop as confirmation

A few of the last issue George V are in very decent nick - heading towards EF say - but the fact is, there are tons of the things in those conditions! As a rough guide, anything from 1937 needs to be UNC, 1926 - 1936 should be EF+ with lustre at least, 1911 - 1925 should at least be EF. Scarce dates are 1915, 1935 in high grade, ditto 1934 in top grade. Farthings are nice little coins, worth collecting, but will only ever be worth peanuts compared to pennies, unless you have something very rare.

Now go and stand in the corner and repeat after me...farthings are great!!

Tell you what though, Colin, your eyes must be brilliant. I spent about half an hour last night trying to give an 1881 the right obverse attribution, and even through a loupe I was squinty afterwards.

Turned out to be an Obverse D (from your website) with the F merged with the linear circle, in well over EF.

The bizarre thing is now I can identify the obverse types from a distance. After a while it really does become quite obvious, but drag me away from farthings and I don't have a clue

And there was me thinking I'd created a Colin-friendly post! Ok ok.
