Your example appears to be my Reverse type 7, where the H has been recut. 1881H farthings - <<click here -------------------- |

It will be a very narrow and specialist market (as most of the obscurer varieties tend to be). If it's rare and you can find a buyer then it could be worth more than the standard version. A sobering thought though, is the 1804 Bank of England dollar. There are 10 varieties of that listed, from the common to the extremely rare. Yet the rarest struggles to reach even twice the value of the commonest. Popularity, not merely rarity, adds value... |
