Dave, Here is a 1861 that I have where the "I" is overstruck somewhat different than your coin. Your example has the "front" I struck low...mine has the "front" I overstruck high.

[azda 973]

How common are these, i'm out of the penny loop these days

[jacinbox 36]

Dave, I on I or 1 on 1 is fairly common. The things to note with the obv 6 pennies is the R or B or V over A. Value wise I doubt if the overstrike would add anything to the overall value.

Pete, I am not too sure of a I over I on the 1860 I asked because I was curious as the obv 6 is rare on the 1860 and any abnormalities would make the coin just that little bit more interesting.

[PWA 1967 1,840]

Thanks jac i had not heard of the 1860 before and thought you may of had or seen one.

[azda 973]

I actually thought there was something under the B also, a better in Hand view will work that out

Jac, I think you are right about the rarity of a overstruck number or letter. Gouby has identified and listed a great number of the overstrikes, but few have any premium assigned.

I cant get my head around this .

I have a penny that has been slabbed just a 1907 that has a price of £270 the variety is that small it can only be seen under a microscope.

Its a closed 9 and although i have a couple the price seems daft and surely they are not scarce enough to warrant a premium as high as that ?.

Pete.

An 1873 i have thats quite nicely toned c,g.s. 7721.

Pete,

Where did you find reference to that price for a closed 9 on a 1907 penny? There are 13 varieties of the 1907 Penny, but all are about the size of the 9 and location of the 7 to the bead, and none are really considered scarce.

Pete's 1873 penny

[PWA 1967 1,840]

Its one i have slabbed Bob c.g.s. 33125 i also have a 1903 one c.g.s 12546.

I have the others you mention although they are not worth slabbing.

Can I ask what the difference between an open and closed 9 on the 1907 is?

I have no literature to hand.

By the way, nice website Paulus! It's nice to be able to scroll through other's collections and take a peek

The loop of the 9 touches the downstroke nordle,can only really be seen under a microscope its that small a difference.

They are also the same on 1903 ,04 and 06

Thanks P, do you think it's visible with just a loupe or would I need to find a microscope?

I'd need to get one anyway to find out about this 1861 "halp" penny I have that I think is a P over F, but has an unknown die pairing for this error! Impossible with the loupe..

You could see it with a loupe and obviously the better the strike the easier to tell the one i have was graded 82

Lovely 1873. I have not seen a specimen with 70% plus luster in a long time for this year.

[azda 973]

Before i got really into coin collecting i picked up (either an 1873 or 77) here in Germany for €50, it was BU and put it on eBay, it flew and sold for £350-£370 i think ist was, it was a stunner. Unfortunately no images but i did Post it somewhere on here.
