The Oxford Collection of Farthings is one of the finest collections of
its type ever assembled, having been amassed by an avid private collector over the past 25
years.
It concentrates primarily on currency issues with most dates featuring including all the
well known varieties. Proofs and patterns complete date runs where currency issues are
unavailable. The collection covers the entire milled period from Cromwell to the present
date, many with significant pedigree.
The coins are all exceptionally high quality and feature the most rare and unique
farthings available to commerce including the 1877 proof, 1860 copper, two Pingo
1788’s and nine different Anne farthings including the only 1693 Corbet issue
farthing available to commerce and the Cromwell 1658 portrait farthing. This is a
fantastic opportunity to add some major rarities to your own collection.
Each coin and its accompanying description has a corresponding full colour picture
available for viewing online and in the printed catalogue, which is available on request

The Colin Cooke Collection of Farthings
Carefully selected over a period of more that 40 years, each Farthing in this collection
now bears the Colin Cooke pedigree. Farthings were Colin's passion and he will be sorely
missed as the foremost expert in this field.
Each coin and its accompanying description has a corresponding full colour picture
available for viewing online and in the printed catalogue, which is available on request
(will be sent automatically in due course to those on our mailing list).
Colin was a respected schoolteacher at Marple Hall Grammar School from the 1960s to the
mid 1980s, and from the earliest period, much of his leisure time was spent hunting for
missing dates, varieties and top quality examples of farthings to augment his growing
collection.
In the 1970s many good specimens were acquired from A. H. Baldwin who assisted Colin in
his "hunt".
Star coins from some remarkable collections: Dr. Johnstone, C. W. Peck, Mrs Norweb, Roger
Shuttlewood, King Farouk, Selig and Montagu were duly purchased and are offered here. Coin
shows, coin auctions, dealers' lists and collectors' offerings were scrutinised by Colin
in his relentless search for new acquisitions.
The collection presented here represents the results of his endeavours. The following
pages list over 1600 of some of the most choice, rare and exciting British farthings
grouped together in an unsurpassed collection.
