Bronze & Copper Collector

No, I didn't mean the date. Have a look at the right hand side of the obverse - do you see a very much larger than usual gap between the teeth and the linear circle? I've rotated the image the correct way up, and it's still there. Particularly noticeable by REG.F I believe it to be an optical illusion, inasmuch as the linear circle is barely visible on most of this coins obverse. The lettering appears to be the same distance from the border teeth although it seems farther because the linear circle is not apparent between the two (the teeth and the lettering)

I'm on my cell phone... so the image is smallish... however it looks to me to be a normal 3 F-42 ...... Not a half-penny date... Not an open 3, nor a slender 3... No indication of a die number...

Not to mention the 1862/1 ... we'll ignore the different date placements

A Healthy and a Happy Birthday... All the Best...

MAGNIFICENT!!! Now I have to ask..... Is his favorite seafood "Bronzini"???

....

MAGNIFICENT!!!

could be shadows, but I think I see a hint of a line on both... You have it in hand, so I will defer to you....

I see a hint of a line similar to mine also...

That looks like a distinct trace of 2nd line on the LHS? Yes, a very faint mark.... I don't know what happened to the rest of the line.... with the partial line indicated

Larger image of the reverse

here is my 1739

I'm on my cell phone.. small screen, however I concur...I see nothing to indicate a beaded border on either side... The reverse is toothed and the obverse appears to be the same... I can't determine the Freeman number from the images though... If I was forced to hazard a guess though, I would lean towards an F-13.... Poor quality coin and small screen conspire against me... I've just taken a closer look on a larger screen and indeed the obverse does appear to be a round bead border making the coin an F-8 although I can not be 100% sure from the images....... A VERY POOR and undersireable specimen though.... if indeed it is that variety after all....

Fascinating provenance.... E. Bramah (He wrote an early work on copper) C. W. Peck (He wrote the last definitive work on copper along with the first major study of bronze) A nice coin to have for that alone.

The paypal portion of the refund is actually a refund of the fee that you paid to paypal for the excess portion of the funds paid to you... Paypal is not actually paying any portion of the refund.. It is just your money being refunded to you..

Not an open 3 from what I can see....

Shouldn't that be "talk properly"?

I don't post every day... I do check in several times a day.... I do post when I have something to contribute or something to say...

Freeman obverse 4..... he doesn't differentiate between the fishtail cut or the central cut ribbon.... GOUBY obverse G... LCWYON below bust with central cut ribbon.... Again, there are subvarieties which I can't determine on the small screen... But Satin-18 or Gouby-S is probable...

I'm looking at my cell phone... small screen.... but BOTH coins appear to be obverse 4's with a Central Cut Ribbon.... can't tell sub-varieties though from this screen....

I'm on my cell phone.. small screen.... but it looks like an obverse 6, reverse G... F-33 Maybe someone with a big screen can confirm?

Once a day whether I need it or not If only.....

A battle for the last post.... I'll make it simple and take the honors.... Thanks to all for your kind thoughts....
