Can never ever have enough of those, eh?

[lacey]

yeah that would be great.  and another great friend of his suggested just today, to ask dave about a penny I have.  So the question is waiting for him, if he comes over here.

Speaking of long-lost cool people, I got a package from Ian Hartshorn today (with all the varieties information he had before he bailed out of decimals).

He says he's now into UK Farthings, 990AD to 1956. I had no idea the mint itself used to chop pennies up into quarters before they started minting round farthings during Edward I's reign.

So, tell me some of you guys are interested in this topic, and I'll use it as a hook to try and get him in here.

I purchased several lots of error coins from Ian and was always very happy with them.  I remember he was Cobwebs on the now defunct forums.  I'm pretty sure I sent him an invite to join us here.  

I collect Farthings, from Q Victoria to 1956 and would be interested in reading anything Ian has to contribute. I actually recall him being a bit partial to farthings and he didn't get why more people weren't collecting them.

Ooh, details?

[Goldseeker]

Is that the small hand book he published years ago?

No, its his research notes and web pages he was going to put up before his interests changed. Last entries are 2007 20¢.
