Obscure Wren Farthings (1937-1956)

Recommended Posts

I had posted about a specific variant back in 2022, but I figure a list of exactly what I want and what I'm prepared to pay may be more effective, so without further ado:

  • 1953 1+A "VIP" Proof - £1,500 (example)
  • 1953 1+A Matte Proof - £2,500 (example)
  • 1953 2+? "VIP" Proof - £2,500 (example)
  • 1937 Matte Proof - £2,000 (example)
  • 1937 Frosted Proof - £500 (example) [do these even exist in the wild?]
  • Any "VIP" Proof excluding 1956 and 1949 - £800

That's 2+B but I'm sure you knew that!

That’s not B reverse , it’s unrecorded.

How so? The I and T of FARTHING both point to a tooth where on Reverse A they point to a gap.

All explained in this thread from a while ago:

In summary, it is the pointing of the F that is crucial: to tooth on common reverse B but to gap on this VIP unrecorded one.

Ah, right - thank you.
