    I bought them at the ANR auction. I regret not buying the 1713 Queen Anne pattern farthing at the same saleimage British material seems to be addictiveimage

    They're really great. Is the 1799 gold? A cameo proof? It looks like it.

    No it's gilted, covered with a very thin layer of "gold". A good few of the patterns from this era were gilted.

    Superb collecting field with some superb engravers and designers at work. There are some stunning pieces. NEN had the Britannia/Naked Britannia pattern halfpenny last summer. I was so concerned with battering the price down that they sold it to someone else during the abuse. $2,000. Should have just paid up and shut up... image

    Oooh, I do like the gilt.

    We still need to talk about your Irish gilt penny some time. Did you see the French patterns at Dan's table? Right after I spoke to you, I bought this one there. And another one the next day. He still has a third.

    Nice coins!

    I have always loved those gilted proofs, and those farthings are so nice too. I have been looking for a good 1/2d, 1d or 2d... I doubt I could find one that nice. The color on that first farthing gives me goosebumps.

    I haven't forgotten you. In fact I got the coin out of the bank yesterday when I tucked the new farthings in!image I really like the 5 fr pattern with the cherubs and I no doubt would have bought that one if I had seen it first.image Not trying to tempt you or anything but heres another look at the Irish.

    PM your address and I'll send it to you tomorrow for a look.

    Mark, wonderful coins. One of the few regrets I have from FUN is not getting to meet you in person.

    Is the first one a bronzed proof?
