My physio has givem me a few coins that his grand mother is keeping to know the value of them, I have used GBCC 2006 to see the value of them, but I have found a problem with the coin mentioned in the topic.

In the book there are 2 different examples, "'1' right of tooth" and "'1' is directly above tooth', now, does anyone have a pic of both cases so I can compare and differenciate?

I don't know what the "tooth" means... so any explanation would be apreciated, thanks!

Tooth means the beads around the border.

Look at the date - the '1' will either be directly above a bead, or slightly to one side. The latter is very common.

The former is decidedly uncommon. The Adams penny collection didn't contain one which suggests the R9 rarity given by Freeman may be a bit out.

Thank you very much to all, now I understand what the "tooth" means. I will have to check this one with lots of magnification, but I am not user even if it has any "tooth" left! It is not in that great condition.

As you can see there was a reason why I could not see it in this one.

I have finally hooked up my scanner to have a look at this penny I mentioned to find out that it didn't really matter, as it is too worn to be able to see if the 1 is above or to the right of the tooth...

Oh well.

Edit: and I just realiced of what a poor quality my scaner is...
