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. |
