While sorting my wheats into year rolls I found a 1 Farthing 1900. Kind of cool IMO. :thumbup:

Very cool find! Those must have been "unsearched" wheat cents. :mrgreen:

I do too... but that's because I have so many. Love the farthing. You know they stopped making the farthing after 1956? Then they were demonetized at the end of 1960... but they are pretty close to the size of the current (British) decimal penny, so some may actually still circulate as pennies... at least in theory.
