Anne copper Pattern Farthing 1713 MS63 Brown NGC, Peck-738. A scarcer variety bearing the date in the reverse legend. Fabulous and seemingly conservatively graded, this superb little pattern catches the viewer's eye and simply refuses to let go. Many different varieties of Anne Farthings were made in pattern format as the product of experimentation at the Mint starting in 1713, but the lateness of this effort meant that poor Anne had died before she could see her copper coinage released to the public. Accordingly, none of these types ever circulated officially as coinage making them sole pattern rarities today. This piece is perfectly struck with a hefty denticular border to either side, Anne's portrait unmarred and bold atop the gleaming chocolate planchet, the reverse similarly pristine. Beautiful in every sense and an enviable prize for the collector of British Proofs and patterns.
