No, it is obverse 4 with LC WYON below the bust and obverse 4 coins tend to have quite a narrow rim with short teeth that can appear rounded like beads but true beaded obverses have the circular beads well clear of the rim. Take a look at: https://rarestpennies.wordpress.com/1860-f8-mule/

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385421080558?hash=item59bce2f7ee:g:SCwAAOSwhtxj7Tf7 I see the lucky chimney find is at £37, with 17 bids, and with 6 days still to run. I suspect it likely a few rascals having a bit of fun? Poor dear, she's been let down in the past by winning bidders who failed to pay up for her 1933 pennies hasn't she. Tsk, you just can't depend on people these days. So, fingers crossed this time eh? Told it may be worth around a quarter of a million, so listed on eBay, without reserve, at a starting price of 99p.🤞

Portrait is fairly flat, which is typical. Is there any trace of solder from a suspension mount on either side or the edge? Spink ticket and price suggests it will probably be in the Circular, but when? I'd have to plough through them to find out. I can't see any case for it being a touchpiece, as these were typically angels - the combination of saint and king provided the cure and/or protection . The milled Charles II touchpieces were produced later than this coin FWIW, this is my 3rd issue shilling. Again, flat in parts, though the portrait is above average.

That's useful if you live in the outer Hebrides.

Hello Everyone! I hope you all are doing well. If you don't know, I am a young coin enthusiast and I have a youtube channel on coins called, The Coin Realm. I very recently made and collaborated on a video on a stunning Henry VII Gold Full Angel discovered by two detectorists. It's a really breathtaking example of a highly rare gold hammered coin and a really interesting video! If you are interested be sure to give it a watch! And of course, if you have any suggestions or comments, please do let me know! All of your expertise is appreciated! Thank you so much as always!
