1860 Beaded Penny Variety

Recommended Posts

Could someone please confirm the variety of this 1860 penny for me please, the Victorian varieties are the one area I would love to get comfortable with because I think it is a fascinating series. Thanks for any help!

Looks like a 1 + B (Freeman) but hard to tell with the wear.

It has to be obverse 1 or 1* because the border is beaded, id say not a 1* because the eyes aren't as bulgy as they should be for that die so therefore obverse 1.

The reverse has to be A, B or C (again because of the beaded border) and looks to me to have the extra lines within the shield's cross which would point to it being a reverse B.

Hope that helps (and is correct lol) get a copy of Freeman you'll have so much fun :)
