Farthing coin

Can anyone tell me about this coin??

There is no date on it but it has the bust of King Edward V11 on one side and Britannia with the word Farthing on the other side. It looks as if it is made of brass and it is extremely small. Smaller than a ½ farthing. Any ideas. Thanks.

From the bad quality of the engraving most likely play money.

Hello Idolenz i can say with confidence i have seen only one of these before and did not buy it as i thought it suspicious not having a date,after returning home i researched the coin and the date for some reason was stamped on the edge of the coin,i did not look at the edge at the time ,they are VERY SCARCE INDEED.

I went back to the shop to buy it , it was gone.

If i remember correctly at the time they were so small the wealthy aka the bankers  became annoyed at them being in circulation as they were tiny,and were in the process of removing them except every day people demanded they needed them for a medium of exchange so they were kept in circulation however some were ordered to be produced so fast  because of demand that they put the dates on the edge ,now  in some reports it said some never received dates ,i do not now how true the last statement is.I have never seen a farthing without a date either on the front or on the edge.

Either way nice cool coin in my opinion.

HAHAHA  The bankers were annoyed at them because they were small?  That's hilarious.  Did the bankers also decide to erase all evidence of that they ever existed. Please, by all means, share your research with us.

Sure mate , they mint the coins “currency ” , it costs them to produce it , the coins were made of 92.5 percent silver , the currency was being debased due to wars , incase you didn't know wars cost a mega load of money to fund , seeing as you wanna learn il go on bud, so changing out the currency for a cheaper metal,  namely brass coins , average Joe's were not happy about the debasement of the currency due to this creating a weaker currency , silver being a more EXSPENSIVE monetary metal and watching the wealthy with gold didn't go down well , in short my buddy and pal - the bankers were reducing the size if the coin more and more so as to use less and less silver so as to create a cheaper wesker currency for the masses,  now laughing boy give me something good 👍 

Learn history of the monetary system and debasement of currency before you jump in both feet next time .

Even the plebs understood smaller coin =less silver =less purchasing power , your in the U.S right , so you will know 1st hand what currency debasemr t is , look in your change… finding many war nickels and dimes lately,  answer no , but you can go to your local coin shop and by them at just above spot right ! That's because ya currency been debased just the same as every other country globally .

History repeats , your dollar is the world reserve currency and its what 34 trillion in debt !!!!!! You are adding 1 TRILLION DOLARS OF DEBT TO YOUR BALANCE SHEET EVERY ………WAIT FOR IT ……100 DAYS , YOU CANT EVEN SERVICE THE INTEREST ON THE DEBT , YOUR CURRENCY IS DIEING , AND FIRING REALLLLLLLY FAST.

Many many smaller coins especiall  made of silver cist more to make than less voins made of brass simple ….ya know like your comment. 

I HERE ……NOTHING  ……NO WAIT CRICKETS  …..Maybe he fell of the pavement while trying to understand what fiat currency is , by all means ……do share an amazing comeback brother of mine , I'd love to know ya thoughts ❤ 

Oh yeah ya just reminded me , that 34 trillion your in debt by   that's only local debt inside the U.S , that's not including ALLLLLLL of the dollars that U.S has exported outside of the U.S ya know the - euro dollar,  theirs more debt outside off the U.S than inside the U.S   ,now here's a laughing thought cos ya love to laugh and ya really want me to share my research and seeing as ya said PLEASE  il accomodate you.That debt that all the other countries hold in dollars outside of the U.S ya know EURO DOLLARS …Those countries cannot service that debt either - EUROPE  and the far East just in case ya need it pointing out , well that debt will be defaulted on , they de dollarize and ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THAT DEBT ALLLLLLLLL THOSE DOLLARS WILL CONE FLIOFING BACK TO THE U.S , and do       you        know       what       that      will     do  to the value of the dollar my giggly little pal of mine my old cock sure budddddddy ,      HYPERINFLATION , GOOD LUCK ‘LITTLE JOHNSON’ GOOD LUCK……….

Annnnnnd my 24 hour experiment on the site is complete.Well what are my impressions      yeah not going to keep the account , met some nice folk on here and met some wannabees ,  i figured this would be a pretty decent place to chat but in all honesty it flip flops fast , WHY so much negatively on simple post and normal folk asking normal questions,if newbies are asking for help why not help instead of pushing email down,  we are here because we like a shared hobby ,  i just don't get it   is it because people are peed off or something,  i get it   we've all got inflation we've all got unrest and worry,  but I wonder has the site always been so quick to attack people or is their a general ego thing at play ,I don't see the point in banging ya chests so quick. 

Pointless

Good  by all  thanks for the memories enjoy your hobbies and I hope you all find what ya looking for,
