Guernsey, 1 Double, 1899 H. Brilliant Uncirculated.

We don’t know where it came from we don’t know when we bought it or even how much we paid for it, but all that said it is there. It contains George VI and Queen Elizabeth II Farthings and has never been sorted for better Dates or varieties. It is just how we bought them… We are going to have one of the staff members who doesn’t handle the coins, to just count them out into packages of 10 coins, come what may. We have had a quick look and they look much nicer than we would have expected let’s call them selected circulated. So you get a bag of 10 South African Farthings totally unchecked. After all the South African Farthing is not a coin you will see everyday.

In 1952 King George VI died. The last ever British Silver Threepence was issued in his name up to 1944. But in South Africa they issued a Silver Threepence for circulation in 1952 and that is the coin we have on offer today. You have the bare head portrait of the King on one side and a plant and sticks of wood on the other. An interesting memento and if you have one of our George VI sets, even more interesting.

We offer individual coin envelopes measuring 2” x 2” in white paper. Paper envelopes are recommended for long term storage. They are also useful for making any notes. This product is for 50 of the paper 2x2 envelopes.
