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...

It is also one of my favorite sets. I have the complete wren set in xf to bu plus the 1953 proof of the rare variety. I also have several other dupes. If you need some give me apm and will see if I have it. Olmanjon
