The 6 is always the clincher - quite different on the 2 dates:

Good news.

I think that the large rose variety has been getting a bit of publicity lately and dealers are probably cashing in.

There's another one in the next Noonan's auction.

Here's the fatter 5:

Probably not. I don't have a microscope and the coin is slabbed. I'll have a go but don't hold your breath.

I have an 1855 P.T. penny which I bought because it appears to have the date numeral 5s in different fonts with the right hand 5 slightly "fatter".
However, the reverse of this coin appears to have a slightly different design with Britannia's chain mail bodice having what I describe as an ornate central panel. It's a pity that the coin isn't a higher grade but nevertheless it does look different to me.

Sorry about the size difference - it must be to do with the resolution of the originals.

Yes please. Happy to receive by email.

Because the whole world is dumbing down around us. Why does every TV programme begin with a summary of what is to follow ? Why does every news item have to have a piece of film illustrating what is being said ?

Well done, Paul - I'm still looking for one of these.

Larry, we need a photo containing all 4 date numerals to make a comparison.

Can you supply a link please, Eric ?

Thanks Terry.

Could you post the reverse for completeness, Terry.

A nice but not rare 1860 F10 with a large die crack went for £580-80. I don't understand it.
It looks as though I should get my entire collection slabbed before I sell it.

Not the greatest photo but I see no trace of a 3.

This penny is listed as an "E over F" in the next LCA - can anyone see anything to verify this ? And why would anyone have picked up an "F" punch to work on the reverse die of a bronze "ONE PENNY" ? And would an "F" punch of this size even exist ?
