1890 Britain 1/4P Farthing Crichel House Cache Raindrop Race Wager NGC MS65 RB
Details
An 1890 Great Britain 1/4 Pence or 1 Farthing copper piece struck during the reign of Queen Victoria graded Mint State 65 Red and Brown (MS-65 RB) by NGC with the pedigree "Crichel House Cache/Raindrop Race Wager".  The story of this fascinating story goes: An aristocrat and his friend made a bet of £5 on one rainy afternoon regarding two droplets on a window pane on which would hit the bottom first.  The disgruntled loser went to the bank to withdraw 4,800 farthings (at the time the lowest denomination available) and paid back 2,006 farthings (equivalent to £5 at the time) and left the other 2,794 farthings wrapped in tissue paper from the bank lying undetected for 120+ years.  The coins were preserved and this coin displays an excellent original color/luster and excellent details.  Please view our photos for additional information and ask any questions prior to purchase.
