New 1806 Hibernia Farthing with die crack

I got this 1806 farthing in the mail today and no....it hasn't been cleaned they appear to be slide marksimageimage Anyway, it has a major die crack located between the first and second Roman numeral in George III that runs from the rim to the top of his head. Also, there are these small metal bead-like things on the obverse around the portrait of George. Make him look like he's been blowing boogies....LOL! Beside the rim bend on the reverse I thought this wasn't a bad piece in terms of strike and color. There is still much detail in the coin.

  • LOL.He does sort of look like he is "puckered up" for a nose blowing.

    I like the coin and really like the rev.

    Nice.

    George certainly does look like he just hawked a lugie. image

  • To be caught hawking a lugie for all to see for the next 2 or 300 years, not my choice of "best portrait" for the little ones to admire... image
