1890 Great Britain Farthing Crichel House Cache Raindrop Race Wager NGC MS65 RB
One rainy day in 1890, An aristocrat and a friend were in a Dorset Stately home. Sitting near a window they made bet. The bet was to see which of two raindrops would reach the bottom first. They each wagered £5. To pay his debt, the loser went to the bank and withdrew 4,800 of these farthings. These coins carried the lowest value at the time, a mere 1/4 of a penny. Over a century later, these unused coins were found still wrapped in tissue paper from the bank. As a result of this wager, these 1890 Queen Victoria Farthings are among the finest to ever enter the market
