Picked this up yesterday it's a nice looking farthing seems to have been cleaned and retoned some but i think it's a nice coin to own

    That little wren is one of my favorite designs.

    well i liked the fact that it was in such nice condition, usually i find these in very bad shape, banged up, pitted or harshly cleaned , this is neither it's been cleaned lightly which doesn't really show up and i like the way it's retoning

    The design is neat too

    Overall not a bad buy

    Absolutely one of their best 20th C. designs! Nice!!Hey, try to get one of the 1937, '50 or '51 proofs sometime...
    Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
    Well, just Love coins, period.
