<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2652286, member: 15588&quot;]Interesting, I just received my 2017 Spink books in the post today. How timely. Perusing the George III section, the coin really looks like Spink numbers 3780 (Penny), 3781 (Half Penny) or 3782 (Farthing). Minted from 1806 - 1807, the entry says &quot;Soho Mint, Birmingham&quot; and &quot;Shorter haired laur. and dr. bust, r. date below, R. Britannia I&quot; for all 3 types. A few varieties exist, which won&#039;t show on the specimen above since they involve the number of berries in Britannia&#039;s wreath on the reverse or George&#039;s curl on the obverse. Spink lists prices for the Farthing ranging from £10 in VF to £150 in EF and for the Half Penny from £8 to £85 and £12 to £110 for the Penny. The only diameter I&#039;ve found so far is for the farthing at 21 mm with a weight of 4.7g.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a photo of Spink 3781 (the Half Penny) from the web:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.britishcoingallery.com/s/cc_images/teaserbox_941405287.jpg?t=1419300847" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
