Help ID 1860 Penny variation

Recommended Posts

Welcome to the forum stormbass. I've uploaded your pictures to make it easier for people. I'll take a punt at F10 but someone cleverer will come along in a bit and tell you what it really is. :)

I thought it looked very similar to Richard's picture of the "Freeman 2*"? Lettering in particular looks almost identical with the missing bits.

Your cheeky Pete, There's no FID on a Victorian Bun Penny.   :D

When I wrote it down I replaced the I with a colon because I know Pete's spelling's crap. ;)

Anything about the letters?

Well I must admit, I did notice the letters when I glanced at the thread last night. The E's and the Y in "ONE PENNY", stand out as knackered. Similarly with the unclosed O and on the obverse, the C, A & T in VICTORIA (and T in BRITT), as well as the sort of missing lower colon dot after "REG".

Presumably the result of a worn die, but I've never seen an 1860 penny in quite such rough shape, worn die wise.
