Great Britain. Farthing, 1713. Peck-746 (752). Anne. Pattern struck in silver on large blank or planchet. Obverse: Old draped bust of Queen. Reverse: Britannia seated with shield and date 1713. Deep 'toothed' border both sides, edge plain.
This coin is distinguished by prooflike surfaces under a stunning original golden/blue-grey tone. It is barely possible to image a specimen with more eye appeal. peck describes this coin as 'very rare' and explains that the large blanks were chosen in order to give full effect to the broad toothed borders on the dies. The portrait of the Queen is magnificent and one can rest assured that there can only be a handfull of pieces still in existence which can match the sheer quality of this coin. NGC graded Proof 63.

Great Britain. Proof Halfpenny, 1729. Peck-832. George II. Laureate cuirassed young bust of King, left. Reverse: Britannia. Date below. Deep chocolate surfaces with well struck design characterise this specimen. Peck describes this, the first Halfpenny of the reign, as 'rare'. Peck also points out that although George II became King on 11 June 1727 the coining of copper was only resumed under a warrant dated 21 July 1729 and signed by Queen Caroline in the King's absence. The Proof Halfpenny of 1729 can be distinguished from the currency pieces in that the globe touches the exergue line. The spray held by Britannia contains two distinct berries and the crosses on the shield are fimbriated. Lightly cleaned. Proof.
Estimated Value $900 - 1,100.

Very faint roller lines appear in some of the king's hair. Among the finest. NGC graded MS-64.
