According to this BBC web page:
What is the least valuable British coin ever?
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48153442
By Anthony Reuben:
The farthing was the smallest coin until 1960, except for a 27 year period in the mid-19th Century under Queen Victoria, when there was a half farthing.
Even the half farthing never dipped below a value of five pence in modern terms.
To start with, I think their title is slightly ambiguous and misleading, and think "What was the lowest face value British coin ever?" or "What was the lowest denomination British coin ever?" would have been a more accurate title.
But then, the body of the article is wrong in stating that the farthing waw the smallest coins until 1960. While it was correct that there was also a half farthing, it completely ignores the fact that there was also a third farthing, which was, of course, smaller and lower valued than either the farthing or half farthing.
And, the third farthing is not the smallest, as there were also quarter farthings.
So, here is a third farthing:

and the obverse:

There are some signs of a die clash on the reverse, and also an interesting die crack on the obverse.
Just out of interest, I did a Niton XRF test on this coin:

Which shows:
Copper 928
Tin 48
Zinc 16
Iridium 7
All ppt (parts per thousand).
Even the good old BBC don't always get things right!

I cannot believe this is how my proof 2022 sovereign has arrived.
This is how it looked when I opened the box. Why aren’t RM using the screw capsules anymore!!!! 😩
How the hell has this happened, I’m so annoyed and disappointed.

Severed head sovereign:

1931 Perth Mint.
It is not unusual to find weakly struck reverses on many Commonwealth mint sovereigns.

Another sovereign bought on this great forum. This time a 1886 Sydney shield reverse, young head sovereign with some nice detail and rated scarce by Marsh.
My partner doesn’t know it yet but we won’t be getting a hot tub until July now. 😬
 

The Silver Forum is built on trust and integrity.

Whilst we believe that members should utilise the trading feedback system and TSF itself should not intervene in members trading between each other. On this occasion we have decided that it is better for the community to close this member's account.
Members who wish to list items for auction please understand the risks of doing so, please see this topic here on hidden reserves not being allowed, which is linked to in the QuickStart Guide to trading, and suggests to list an auction at a minimum starting price you are willing to accept. Or, what is more recommended; simply list your trade listing as a ‘for sale’ with your asking price. You have more flexibility when listing a ‘for sale’ listing opposed to an auction, in a ‘for sale’ listing you can set your price and invite offers and then always reduce your price if there was no interest at your original asking price. Any item that is listed as an auction, the seller should uphold their word and sell at the final auction price to the applicable winning bidder. It is also not possible to list an auction on TSF if you have listed your items elsewhere. 
Please complete any outstanding trades with @ali187 before 24th June 2021 (so by the end of 23rd June 2021 UK forum server time), when their account will then subsequently be closed.

Recieved these two today

Beautiful 1872 young head Sov from @SovUK

I most definitely have the fractionals bug again. Picked up this element card. Now wishing I hadn’t sold my combi 1gramers lol 😂 7 needed to complete sigh. 

@SovUK started me off with the 2002
@arshimo2012 with the proof 2005 
 
Next will be a 2012 bullion at some point when I can. 
Love both these coins. Thank you to you both 

A bit of fun.  

For the next large TSF prize draw to advertise and bring awareness of the forum, which will be in around a month or two. Should we double the prize and have 2x 5oz silver bars up for grabs, 2 different winners each winning a 5oz silver bar. If you think we should then like this post. 

If this post gets 100+ likes we will give away 2x 5oz silver bars. (I have set this target deliberately low so that it is easily obtainable)

If this post reaches 200+ likes, we will add a small bonus  

An absolutely phenomenal Cuba 40 Centavos 1915! 🇨🇺
While this is not for sale, keep an eye out for the goodies I will be listing for sale through the week!
