As Bob says, yes, definitely. It's a F6.

What grade would you give it? Is it still so rare?

After dancing around the house I re-read your reply - so its not a Gouby BP1860BB which is Freeman 8B, but rather Gouby BP1860E which is freeman 6. Is that correct?

OK i see it the inner rim is thinner hence Obverse C right?

‘Fraid so, looks like an ordinary F6. But still a nice example. I think you were misunderstood,  you were thought to be asking if it was an 1860 BB ie beaded border,  rather than the Gouby reference.

Yes, sorry Fred, as Jerry says, I thought you meant British Penny 1860 beaded border, which you did but in the sense of Gouby's BB reference.

The rims on the rare obverses A and B are much wider, much like the reverse on the coin you posted above.
