I've been compiling a file in the past few days of the proof milled farthings and their respective images. It has come to my attention that nearly all of the monarch have had proof farthings in their reigns, and most of them come on the market quite regularly especially Queen Anne and Charles I. The issue I have currently is I am yet to come across either an image, or a listing, of a James II proof farthing. This isn't particularly surprising, short reign etc. However my main issue is that I know they do definitively exist as they are mentioned by Peck, one being a tin proof, obverse only and the other being a worn copper proof. I could hardly imagine that there were only two proof farthings under his reign, much less both be in the BM. If anyone has any images, leads or listings for a proof James II farthing, tin or not, it would be appreciated greatly if it could be shared with me.
