I recently finished cataloguing someone's excellent Victorian Copper Penny collection and, as a result, felt that I was now in a position to have a go at listing the 1843 varieties which I know of. It may not be a complete list, but I think it will be pretty close. I now know of seven different types of 1843 penny, and I have summarised these into a one page jpeg image which I now attach. The actual image on my own computer is over 6 times the size of this attachment, so if anyone wants a copy of the full image then please PM me. I thought that this may be of interest to some other members (and so did Jerry), as I am unaware that anyone has ever tried to do this with a rarer date in the YH series.

Low eye appeal but high grade hammered in slabs is not such a bad thing. Let investors buy these and leaving the well struck VF for collectors 😀.

I'm afraid that the higher res photos didn't really shed any light, so I would echo Martin's comments.

As ever, something is only worth what somebody else is prepared to pay, but precedent suggests varying thicknesses of individual characters is not of any additional interest to many, so would imagine little or no premium. Much more significant is the overall condition. Just bung it on and see what it makes!

Many hammered coins have an area of weakness unless it's a clean even strike. Small areas of weakness are quite normal. It really depends on what the flat surfaces look like under a glass. Abrasions are quite distinguishable.

Nothing to report as these continue rare on ground...

Very happy with this find today

I think you are reading the figure for proof issues of this date, which is 1312. Regular business strike, of which this is an example, the figure is 7,010,000 !

George IIII 1821 Six Pence 1st reverse this coin was only minted for 1821,....... and found here to be in a nice condition...👍

Victoria Six pence...1893, if correct.....apparently only had a Mintage of 1 300 of this date... Awesome!
