They are easier to spot with the other indicators ,die crack to the left of DEI and a wider I in Gratia.
Dont see many in a decent grade 1848 /6.
Interesting optical illusion. If you move your eyes around whilst looking at it, there is apparent movement. If you stare straight ahead unblinking, it stays as it does in reality - static.
Thanks for the link.
I went for it because although you see many part lustred Victorian copper pennies, it's not often you see a full lustred one of any date, let alone an 1856.
It's a shame about the mark, but I'm looking past that to the overall condition.
This coin was in the first Sovereign Rarities auction of 2018 (1,300 hammer + 5% import duty). Very bright on the whole..
