<p>[QUOTE="l.cutler, post: 4050382, member: 13318"]OK, here is what I came up with and I am pretty confident on the attributions. The top coin is 1b.1-Ba.1 which is a Rarity 6+. R6 is 13 to 30 known so a R6+ would be closer to the 13 than the 30. The second coin is 3e.1-Fd.2 which is an R7. R7 is 4 to 12 known. Now usually rarity numbers like these would be reason to jump up and down and scream. On the St. Patrick coins though this is about the average. A quick look and I didn't see any more common than R6 and quite a few R8. Mine is also an R7. Interestingly Martin doesn't call them halfpence and farthings, he differentiates them by calling them small and large. His belief is that they were all intended to be the same denomination just made at two different times. Looking at these has peaked my interest, and I think I'll be rereading the book! Thanks for showing them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
