I've found a 1858 (British) farthing, in a clear GVF, with "BRITANNIAR." instead of "BRITANNIAR:". Unfortunately, my scanner isn't good enough to show the variety, but if anyone here has a specialist catalogue, I'm curious as to how rare it is. Many thanks, J.
You mean it has an "." instead of an ":" ? ...I don't know maybe the other dot is worn, or didnt strike well...I'm not good with these sort of things...can you get any better pics? I have several British coins of the same period and earlier that either have, or are missing various periods and dots and such...but I'm sure someone else here can tell you more about these than I can....
Try this site and maybe start a debate. This is the most concise farthing variety site I'm aware of. http://www.aboutfarthings.co.uk/index.html
