  1834 1½d William IV fascinating silver Threehalfpence - lovely grade too

  Fascinating story to these:  specially designed for the collection plates of West Indian churches, into which god-fearing folk considered it terrifically bad form to put copper coinage.   Being a quarter of a Spanish real, it became known as the Christian Quattie.

  1843 Victoria tiny copper Half Farthing in a lovely high grade

  Nice high grade with a decent lustre.   Although minted with the Colonies in mind, these did circulate in Great Britain, but not for long.   Even in 1843 there wasn't much you could buy for 1/1920th of a Pound!

  1902 Edward VII tiny Third Farthing in an extremely high grade

  Issued for Malta as their "grano" was 3 to a farthing.   Allow me to demonstrate the elegance of predecimal maths:  there's 3 of these to a farthing, so 12 to a penny.  Thus, there's 144 to a shilling, and 2,880 to the pound.   288,000 minted = £100
