Hey,
I don't understand why nobody has wrote anything here for now?
Wow that silver looks old, how big is it and how old?
This info is always fun to know :wink:

Now there is something you don't see that often, half pennies of this reign are very rare, farthings are rocking horse $hit rare. Great find :icon_thumleft:

That is cool. I'm certain I'll never find one myself. Closest I can get is a Farting of Damon II.

Probably could, & if it were a member find, it's a banner no-brainer.

Ed...is it definitely a farthing or halfpenny, 12mm sound quite large for a farthing :icon_scratch:

Edit...just checked, it is a farthing, a halfpenny is 15mm, no recordings on UKFD, this must be very Rare :o
