Anyone else like the old farthing coins from Great Britain? I don't do much collecting anymore, but I'm always on the lookout for a good-looking farthing coin.

when i first got into foreign collecting it amazed me that it took FOUR of these coins to equal a lowly penny. but yes i like this series better than the older farthings. you dont see them very often in mixed foreign coin lots.

They are one of my favorite pieces, about the smallest denomination ever made.

Awake, O kings of the earth! Come ye, O, come ye, with your gold and your silver, to the help of my people, to the house of the daughters of Zion, to the help of the people of the God of this Land even Jesus Christ.
