It appears that the catalog description of the Great Britain 1799 farthing is incorrect. It is engrailed and not smooth as noted https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces13162.html. Only proof issues are proof.

​Perhaps you mean only proof issues are smooth?

I checked my (not proof) 1799 farthing example and it is definitely not smooth.

Ebay 372453541054 (my coin) is also engrailed, and it is not Proof.

​Sorry, of course I meant "smooth". There were probably smooth and engrailed proofs in addition to the regular business strikes.
