Well done!! Exactly my thoughts but I dont have the baby as yet Pete. The tail was another factor else it was nothing special for $60. I will post my findings if I find anything strange.

F8 and 9 are mules so f10 must be the 2+D (2 will be the LCWYON on the shoulder with the gap between the rose and the end visible) f13 must be 3+D where gap is not visible and LCWYON is marginally lower in comparison to obv 2.
Really? Ummm I assumed it was a obv 1* rev B making it a Freeman 8B. Would you have any pics my Freeman book jumps from F762 to 768 directly. There is no F763. Thanks for your input. Also any info on rarity etc about the coin would be much appreciated.
Not the same as the Workman example http://www.colincooke.com/coin_images/workman2/2-002a.jpg Anyone know the population report for F8B. Dies B+b. Satin 3. Gouby BB. Freeman R18 I suppose The Workman example was meant to sell for between £1000 - £1200
