Bronze & Copper Collector

I just printer out both images, tried to overlay them.... compared side by side.... I don't see a difference.... However, with the quality and fuzziness of the poorer image, one can not really be sure.... I tend to notice that the serifs on the lettering oar not as clear.... The lower serif on the 2nd 1 in the date is not clearly visible, giving the impression that it is over the tooth.... Best to wait for the coin in hand, take better pics and then compare....

To me it lookd like it is pointing directly at a tooth.... Difficult to be certain of anything from the image.... especially on a cell phone screen....

A Happy & Healthy New Year to All...

It was deliberate. It's only a budget smart phone. Lacking even the most basic teleport, time warping or terra-forming capability. Plus to be really up-to-date it appears I'd need to understand what a Google account does or why I'd need to sync my watch to my washing machine or something. Which I don't. But it's a start. Actually, I suspected that was intentional.... Apparently, we are not alone......

You're still a century behind.... This is the 21st Century.....

A Healthy & Happy Birthday... May you have many more...

I'm on my cell phone so it's difficult for me to see on the small screen... However, in the order posted, they appear to be an F-22 (4&D), an F-32 (6&F) the rare variety, and an F-25 (4&G). Possibly someone with a large screen can confirm or refute my assessment.

Not to mention the 1862/1 ...we'll ignore the different date placements What are Michael's rarity ratings? I know that with Freeman R8 and R9 stand for "not especially scarce", but I assume MG's are different. I'm not home now and don't have my copy with me.... There should be a rarity scale listed within. He also attempts to note the quantity known on the rarer varieties but with new discoveries being made those numbers are always subject to change and should be used as a guide and not accepted as gospel...

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...

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
