An example of BP1863Ab ??

[davidrj]

Not sure on this, but it does look similar to Gouby's BP 1863 Ab, raised spikes from Brittania's arm.

Not as clear as Gouby's example and I don't think I'd be convinced if I saw it for sale as such. But there must be some others out there somewhere !!

Agreed, I'm struggling to capture this, the image on the left below is what sparked my interest - taken from the seller's image (not listed as anything special)

And interesting variety, similar to the better known BP 1862 F extra plumes, not convinced either are repairs, more likely clashed dies

Yet another dead link...

As a slight 'aside'.  Would like to see the pic of the BP1863Ab if still available please.  Gouby shows one in his 2009 book, I have one (not the same coin as Gouby's) and would like to see if there are more about (as per secret santa's earlier post).

I did PM davidrj a week or so back asking if a pic is still available but no response as yet.

Missing pictures now showing!  Don't know when they reappeared but hoping they're still there when I get back home.

Recall some mention of trouble with a (some?) off site storage facility that was withholding pics at that time, was that sorted?
