Pattern silver fathings WmIII

[Chris Perkins]

Do any of you farthing boys know the (rough) realistic retail prices for:

a ) A William III 1698 pattern fathing in silver, Peck 680 (grades EF).

B ) William and Mary pattern farthing/medalet in silver. Small busts, King on one side, Queen on the other. Legend GULIELMUS . III . DEI . GRA. Similar to the uncertain pieces listed in Peck at the end of Wm and Mary section, but it has no specific number (grades around F).

Thanks.

a)Colin Cooke's example was described as Near FDC and estimated at £800 - 1000

b)Colin Cooke's example went for £120 near EF. You do see these sell quite well on ebay poss £20 - 40 on the right day

I sold one of the pattern or medallets of William and Mary a couple of months ago in auction for about £160 including premium. It was slightly better than fine.

I have another on my site in GVF for £200.

If you want £40 for it you know where to come

Yes, I was pretty sure the medalet was the cheaper one, especially at the grade isn't too amazing.

Cooke's estimated P680 (which I think I saw on their website)? Did it sell?

I suppose I better offer the seller £200 for the p680. I'll probably leave the medalet as he'd paid way too high for it.

Thanks.

The 680 did not sell in the first wave of bids, but disappeared off the list shortly after so must have gone somewhere
