Sale 31: The Pre-Long Beach Auction May 30 - June 1, 2005
             

             
            Lot 2289Great Britain. Copper Queen Anne Farthing, 1714. S-3625. 
            P-741. Small flan. Normal Britannia reverse. This is the most seen 
            variety of the famous Anne farthing but nevertheless it is quite 
            scarce, especially so in this lovely condition. Light evident wear 
            but glossy dark chocolate colored surfaces, only the tiniest of 
            abrasions present, and on reverse a long faint crack filled in with 
            ancient red wax. What a curious, and very handsome, piece this is! 
            The obverse denticles are huge, producing a dramatic cameo 
            appearance of the Queen. NGC graded AU-58 Brown. 
            Estimated Value $1,200-1,400. 

            Provenance: The Cheshire Collection.
             Realized $1,200
