Great Britain 1890 Victoria Farthing NGC MS 64 RB

  • Great Britain 1890 Farthing
  • Queen Victoria (1837-1901)
  • S.3958
  • NGC MS 64 RB (Lustrous CHOICE-GEM UNC)

     

  • Ex: Crichel House Cache, Raindrop Race Wager.

    One rainy day in 1890, an aristocrat and a friend were in a Dorset Stately home. Sitting near a window they made a bet. The bet was to see which of two raindrops would reach the bottom first. They each wagered £5. The loser went to the bank and withdrew 4,800 of these farthings (the lowest value coin at the time). 123 year's later, these unused/mint state coins were found still wrapped in tissue paper from the bank.
