[CF] COPPER FARTHINGS 1838-1859 |

Price (£) |
|
|
|||||
| Forward: The obverse dies for this period were used for striking | |||||
| both Sovereigns and later, when the die began to show slight signs | |||||
| of wear, for the Farthings. This helps to explain why so many | |||||
| defects in the legends are recorded i.e. Missing bars to A's etc. | |||||
| The reverse dies also have their defects most notably the weak | |||||
| or missing colon dots. It is assumed that the dies started with | |||||
| all of the colon dots in perfect alignment and that any weakening | |||||
|
or disappearance of these dots occurred during use. |
|||||
|
Therefore they should not be considered of MAJOR importance |
|||||
|
However, there are some collectors that enjoy collecting or |
|||||
|
recording some of these varieties - so for those collectors |
|||||
|
we will list some of the colon dot varieties - that we find |
|||||
|
Assume full colon dots unless stated |
