1913 George V 1/3 Farthing


Decided to do some browsing to update my farthing set and ... well ...

1913 1/3 Farthing, B UNC

Somehow I think this poor coin has seen better days.

Still ... not as bad as the sets of cufflinks made out of farthings on eBay UK.

    At least the seller is telling the truth about his/her "birthday farthings." Many UK sellers, including names that might surprise you, are selling cleaned pieces every day and say not one word about it.

    Excuse my ignorance...I remain a novice. What does the B stand for? Is it Britain?
