That is the one! Thanks pies :)

I Think we can all enjoy this site. I have already gone through my old penny collection and found a couple of rare ones. Well done whoever you are. Can you express an opinion on this 1860 penny. Obverse is obv. 3 but reverse is, though similar, not D. The area by the ship has been re-tooled and the rim splits in two. The Reverse D has several wak areas and I was wondering if this might be an attempt to sharpen the rim.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

You're reverse D looks like a retouched die to me. Michael Gouby, in his book The British Bronze Penny' lists numerous examples for 1860 though not your own. The 1860 3 + D on my website is almost missing the part of the linear circle which has been repaired on your example. You could always contact Michael through his website at Michael Coins, though there must be countless examples extant. I don't personally collect to that level of detail (at least currently!)
