hi, I have an 1861 penny, which sadly is in really poor condition so a lot of the identifiers are worn away. I know there are many different variations of this year and would appreciate your combine experience to identify which one mine is. Please see the photos, ( apologies for the quality). 2 things I have noted are that the L.C. WYON appears to be below the truncation and the ‘N’ in ONE is abnormal. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Martin

Hi, please can I have your opinions on the 1848 penny over date. It does not look like an over 7 or even a 6.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi, Ok point taken the “documented” and what is stated on eBay. From my perspective as a novice to collecting and variants, etc… which is a minefield by the way, when I saw what looks very like a piece of fluted ribbon and at least 2 other people, albeit on eBay saying it is a rare variant, I thought that I had one and asked ‘the experts’ for more information. In your photo above just looks like a smudge and mine attached looks a lot more like an actual addition with folding and pleating as you would expect in material of the day. Thank you all for you help, support and instructional responses to my query.

Hi Jerry, this variant is documented and I have seen at least one more for sale on eBay currently, but that is all I can find.

Hi, Newby to the site, first post. I have an 1859 penny, with a variant that I cannot find much information on. “ Tie ribbon between curl and neck” Also there is no W.W., not sure if this as standard. I would be grateful is someone could give me an idea of rarity, grade and value? I also have recently got an 1858 small date, again would like an idea of grade, rarity and value.
