Inverted Vs for As in GRATIA. This series is full of fascinating little varieties like this. I didn't just make this one up - it is documented in Chris Perkins' Collectors Coins GB
This is the scarcer DEF. 1838 farthing. This series is full of fascinating little varieties like this... ...and it is a very respectable 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!
A little scarcer, in my experience, than the Toothed Border farthing. More lustre on the obverse of this coin than on the reverse, but not a great deal of discernable wear on either side - only the usual weak strike around the exergue.
Although minted with the Colonies in mind, these did circulate in Great Britain, but not for long. Even in 1844 there wasn't much you could buy for 1/1920th of a Pound. This one has a slight titled E in REG, for those who like their microvarieties. I know I do.
Although this is a relatively common date, it's certainly not a common grade. Have a look round at some others, then come back and look at this one again.
Very high level of detail and plenty of lustre. Nice.
Issued for Malta as their "grano" was 3 to a farthing. Cracking little coins.
