George III Proof Pattern Restrike "Cartwheel" Farthing 1798 PR65 Red and Brown PCGS, Peck-1213. By W. J. Taylor. An almost fully-red specimen of this later restrike Pattern, boldly struck with excellent detail and minimal die rust. The interiors of the two cartwheels are highly lustrous and reflective, with the hints of a deep orange tone forming at the edges. Considering the chunky size of the adopted cartwheel Penny and 2 Pence, it seems strange that the Soho mint did not produce business strikes for a cartwheel Farthing.
