Thanks. I can JUST about make it out now you've  told me, but perhaps you hammered guys are more used to knowing where to find it!

🤣🤣🤣 I love the date range spanning over 20 years, on account it has no mintmark! 
They could’ve at least narrowed it down to Third Coinage by the bust, that would’ve reduced the number count a bit…and maybe excluded Castle because of the reverse Lis?

And PS I did get your email (thank you), will come back at ya tomorrow :)

The name Ilya might be a known person on the other side of the pond, whose moniker was highqualitylowprice or something like that. That was an eastern European showman (Romanian?) who was a world renowned expert in numismatics apparently. Numismatic bullshittery maybe, but nowt else. The sort of guy who would offer a 1967 penny for a thousand dollars, but agree to sell it to you for a 99% discount - FYI, still a rip off. Someone from that side will know who I mean and perhaps post a link to a sale of his?

His last name wasn't Kuryakin by any chance?

My thought’s exactly! There seems to be an influx of fake Lizzie halfpennies at the moment, I wonder about this one too with the key over woolpack facing the wrong way and a very uneven border.

Definitely not the genuine article, but will definitely be the coin in that little group that will catch the highest bidder out, as there’s nothing else in there they could possibly be wanting!

That's supposed to be silver?? :o

Possibly silver, I don't know. A genuine Anne farthing? Not likely. 😁

I'm not an expert on the Anne pattern farthings!

There was a copper farthing in 1714 with Anne on it. According to https://en.numista.com/13073

Only struck in the year of Queen Anne's death (1714), they did not circulate widely, to the extent that rumours started saying that they were of great rarity. Indeed Peck states that they were never officially issued and Spink lists them as Patterns. The following is an excerpt from the Department of Special Collections at the University of Notre Dame Libraries:

"In the last year of her reign the London mintmaster, Isaac Newton, oversaw the production of a few farthings, most of which were proofs, but a few may have been made for circulation. These coins were slightly smaller than William's farthings but of a much higher level of craftsmanship. Newton produced a more uniform product with less of a weight range between examples and sharper reliefs on the images."

There are no silver pattern coins listed. So, yes, I would say that that was an easily discovered fake and that the seller should be considered unsafe.

There are silvers for both 1713 and 1714, but the portrait on the ebay coin is all wrong. Numista is never reliable. https://www.colincooke.com/ccc_queenanne.
