The 1875 farthing apparently had a mintage of 712,760, so was even less than the 1887! The 1881H farthing also had a mintage of 1,792,000 - the reason the 1881H and 1882H mintage figures are the same is that Heaton's contract was to produce a weight of coins rather than a particular number - 1,792,000 farthings weighed 5 tons. The Royal Mint in the early days of bronze coinage production also minted to a set weight rather than number or value, for example the 1863 mintage of 1,433,600 is 4 tons of coins - a value of £1,493 6s 8d or 1,493 and one third pounds.
The 1860 Victoria, bun head farthing with the beaded reverse, toothed obverse mule Retailing from £50 to over £1,000 depending on what condition you have it in..
3:22 Minor correction (essentially a nitpick) here, bronze coins made the change in 1895 ;) Also, I'd suggest changing the grades for evaluation - I've seen a model using G, XF and UNC and I think it's better at representing the price range :)
