      Thank you, I did search through the British Museum online collection and unfortunately they have no images for them that I could find

      Proof Farthings

      By oldcopper · Posted

      Despite Peck calling both listed proofs EXR they're almost certainly PU, and any picture (apart from Peck's plate photograph) will possibly be online on the BM's website (visit their online collection - some of the coin collection is there but most isn't). There won't be any other photo as far as I'm aware, and even if either is on the BM's website there might be copyright issues with reproduction. There's no evidence that the copper P.556 is a "proof" It's in poor condition and is of the lighter brown colour as seen on Charles. An off-metal strike, I would guess it's a copper blank struck at the softer pressure as used for the tin coinage, as the fields are unmarked and smooth.

      Proof Farthings

      By SohoMint · Posted

      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.

      Have you emailed them directly? They might not be prepared to search old records but you never know.
