Special Coin or plain old farthing?

[ShaolinStacker]

Hey guys,

Wanted to get opinions from across the pond as this coin is out of my expertise. I saw this 1937 PCGS PR65 Farthing today and had to have it. It just looks stunning. Is it rare due to its condition and toning? Do you think this will ever be a very valuble? What do you guys think?

I'm no expert in the field but it looks like it's been artificially toned.

I would give it a wide berth even if I was the world's biggest farthing lover and it was as rare as rocking horse doo-dah. It's awful.

It's in a slab from PCGS with PR65 not dinged for artificial toning

Maybe you're right, but I do hate people messing with old coins and all these crappy new silver coin themes that we seem to be bombarded with lately.

If its in a slab then i'm guessing its not artificially toned. If rainbow toning is your thing (and it is 99% more of a thing in the US than over here) its not bad at all...

I've seen some common date Morgans go for ridiculous premiums because of rainbow toning.

All in the eye of the beholder I think.
