Hi everyone I have been eyeing off a farthing that was previously auctioned in the "Lorne Collection of Farthings" in Noble auction 82. http://www.noble.com.au/auctions/search/?sale=82&p=1&c=2429 Does anyone know anything of Mr (or Mrs) Lorne ? I am unable to find any info by a simplistic google search. It looked like a pretty nice collection of farthings, so someone here may know of this person. I am interested in knowing the history of any coin I might buy. I probably would have got on alright with Lorne. cheers Garrett.

I can't add any information, but it is quite a collection

Prax, I'm attaching the excerpt from the Numismatic Circular of 1986 (before anyone knew that it was a pattern obverse with 122 beads) regarding the Max Brehm/M Gouby/A Scott coin. The article doesn't refer to it as a proof - it was Michael that described it as a matt proof. Richard
