I think its more likely the Large rose he overpaid for when he bought it , it has been for sale over two years.
The same seller has recently added one on his website in fine grade for £100 and the more expensive one maybe he bought attributed and just gave it a go.
Some copper pennies sellers have found not attributed and not paid much for them ,its therefore much easier to sell them cheaply.
Dealers who buy quite a lot may just take a chance and pay a high price for something considered rare / scarce hoping to sell it and just make a bit ,it doesnt always work.

Yes , as you will know it was listed as a F118 and a F116 which is much scarcer.Although it was expensive , I have never seen a better one.

You will have to excuse me if I am being a little dense.
Is the rare variation Obverse M or Obverse P?
It is Gouby Obverse M and Freeman Obverse 9.
Richard who is a forum member has the really good website with pictures of the rare pennies you linked above ,maybe some of yours can be added 👍

10 minutes ago, DarkSithLord said:Yes I will upload a picture of the Mule. Thanks for the reply. I did look at the website. Under a magnifying glass I counted 6 border teeth from the up right of the R to the top of the I in Victoria which matches with Obverse P? I bow to your superior knowledge however so Obverse P isnt the rare variant then?
Maybe the confusion is looking at the Gouby reference rather than Freeman.
Freeman 103 is Freeman OBV 9 which is 5 teeth between the R and the I of Victoria.
Look forward to seeing your pictures of the rare mule ,infact any others that you are lucky enough to now own 👍

No sorry ,it isnt ,maybe have a look at the website you have put a link for which explains why not.
However the 1860 Mule have you got a picture of that one please ?

No thats exactly how it looks Mick ,as i mentioned if someone wants to buy them dipped because they think they look good ,thats entirely up to them.
Just a shame maybe if they didnt know that when they come to sell them they dont get as much.

Thats the problem Jon ,they have done a good job BUT then hidden the cleaning by dipping it.

This is the farthing a couple of days before it was re-sold for a lot more 👎
1849 Queen Victoria Farthing | eBay
I have no problem people buying them and selling for a profit its what makes the world go round ,however some people are buying them and altering the appearance solely to perhaps mislead people,it would not be so bad on the odd one maybe BUT there are loads of them.

Yes i agree ,i would not buy that as an 1854/3 looking at the picture.
All it does is waste everyones time describing them wrong as the majority just get returned. The vendor not paid or the auctioneer left with a coin they then have to try and sell someone else.
