Any Gamblers here, possible 8/6

What do you see in that coin Bernie? Am I missing something?

[Bernie]

Hello Bob, The 8 in the date appears to be over something. The left hand side of the 8 appears to be filled, very much like 1861, 1862 overdate pennies.

I just bought it without looking 

When i blew the picture up after though i dont think so.

Anyway if it goes in the bin it wont be the first time 

Thanks Bernie its all part of the hunt.

Pete.

I had already made my punt

What you looking at Scott looks normal to me ?.

I noticed there is a blocked 2... 1862 currently on for £15 i think or there abouts.

Edited August 8, 2016 by PWA 1967

[scott]

oh just the underlying 1 under the 2 maybe

[PWA 1967]

Well good luck with that one.

I think at this rate we both might be throwing them away 

[scott]

except I have it in hand, there is something there, but faint.

[PWA 1967]

Have you got a picture Scott thats brighter / Lighter than the eBay one ?.

I dont know how you could see anything resembling a tiny part of a one from the eBay picture.

However if your right HAT OFF.

[scott]

it is clearer on the ebay one, there is a shape that resembles a 1 just above the middle tooth under the 2. look there in zoomed.

[PWA 1967]

Yes have me looking again i can see what your looking at ...you have the coin though.

 

 

[scott]

yes, I have it, and can see the exact same thing, I'll upload pictures later.

[jelida]

Needs a close-up photo Scott, but good luck! Here is a pic of mine for comparison.

Jerry

[scott]

the 1 is fainter on mine, and doesn't have that spike

[Nordle11]

Looks legit from the ebay picture, although when you compare it to Jerry's wonderful example the underlying 1 doesn't line up with the teeth in the same way.

Jerry, is your coin one of the examples on my website ? If not, could I have photos please ?

It is on your site Richard as one offered on Ebay in 2015 I think. I bought it slabbed from an Ebay seller in California after negotiating a reasonable reduction from his initial price.

I think I need to update you on one or two though, I will check and email in due course.
