The Sixpence. Even though it is older, it is much more modern looking which appeals to me.

The 6 pence. While I find the design of the 2 Kreuzer more appealing, the tone the 6p tipped it for me. Very nice coin.

I've looked at a few tinnies at the Midland Coin Fair.
I would be very worried about Tin worm so I haven't pursued the subject.
Have a look at a nice Charlie 1/2d struck on good copper...heaven

It's Charles for me. By the way, is it just me, or is one side of the Salzburg coin (the one depicted on the right) upside down?

Tin worm? This is new on me.
Do you just mean tin corrosion, or an actual parasite? I did have a very nice tin farthing once upon a time. The edge was very corroded, but the portrait was easily VF.

Google Tin worm...its usually used in the auto trade to denote a rusting car.
Watching a prized tin farthing rust away....
no thanks
