<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 675775, member: 12965&quot;]Howdy peeps, <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I finally scored a St. Patrick&#039;s Farthing this past weekend (I actually scored 2 but only one has arrived) and I am tickled to death with her. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;ve wanted one for so long now but everyone I find, always goes way way way high and I end up sitting alone in the middle of the road, like a toad, with no coin to take home. :crying: But finally, there she was, sitting amongst a bunch of other coppers and looking pretty beat up but I spotted her the second I saw the pic. :kewl:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D150366599093" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D150366599093" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=150366599093</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There&#039;s also a weird coin we can&#039;t figure out (from the St. Pats, one down and one to the left, in the main picture) and it&#039;s made of lead. :bigeyes: I may post it at a later date, to see if anyone can figure it out. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But for now, here she is:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/4001/003wwj.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/1449/004klb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Will Nipper stopped by this afternoon and currently has her in his possession, so he could attempt to attribute it, which he did and considering there are somewhere around 300 varieties of these, I don&#039;t know how he did it but he did:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9996/imgqjx.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m hoping to find out from either the current owner of that one, or previous owners, whether it has a reeded edge, like mine, since everything else matches up perfectly and by the looks of it, there are now 2 of that variety (there could be more known but at the time of the C4 auction in 2004, they didn&#039;t know of any others). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Post your St. Patty&#039;s if you got&#039;em! :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: The one at auction sold for $350 + fees, so I think I did alright.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
