Britain Farthing

I have a 1918 ONE PENNY coin from Great Britain, also a 1949 TWO SHILLING,a1957 HALF PENNY and a1956 FARTHING.

Ha’penny $4.26 In 1949, eight years after the “Peace with Honor” was negotiated between Great Britain and Nazi Germany by the Farthing Set, England has completed its slide into fascist dicatorship. Then a bomb explodes in a London suburb. The brilliant but politically compromised Inspector Carmichael of Scotland Yard is assigned the case. What he finds leads him to a conspiracy of peers and communists, of staun… |
