    I posted https://www.facebook.com/petitioncrowncoin - I do not understand why so many requests for a FARTHING of William III

    In 20hours it has been looked at 1'476 times, 126 have like it and people have shared it (no idea fully what this figures means - interested if someone understands FB)

    I still find interesting what different collectors find of interest.

    This WILLIAM III Farthing has completely confused me why so many are liking it and coming to see it, it is small and I am looking to understand why ?[​IMG] HELP?

    people are idiots they will collect anything and that's the truth. Watch a few episodes of American Pickers.

    My guess would be that it's really old and in a high grade for being so old. Just a guess, but it's a great looking Farthing, if you collect that series.

    It is extremely well struck for the type and has condition rarity. Truly a PQ specimen. I'd like and share it all day.

    Because people think prince William has starded to strike coins, want to see how cute he is on a coin, feel he's very weird looking at "his" portrait, then share with friends how ugly he actually is... :D

    a top quality coin,unusual to find them as good as this--book in very fine £200-with the nice tone it could well be considered better

    That's a straight up $2k coin.

    Regardless of the purported $2k price-tag, or the farting and flipping, I think there may just be a market out there for this coin. Have we considered that?

    It looks like a decent strike, too.
