1864 farthing, possible new die combination?

[MACKSILKY.]

Hi all, can anyone tell me if this farthing is a new die combination. It appears reverse 2 (serif on 4 in date). Obverse b (1.5 stops after f:d:

Thanks james.

I assume you're using Freeman die names and mean obverse 2 and reverse B?

It's a bit hard to make out the fine details in the photo but the waviness of the hair suggests it is obverse 3.

James is using the original numbering system I used on my website, but it created confusion, hence why it is in the transition of being changed. @Mr T you are correct that in Freeman numbers it would be Obverse 3.

It would be a combination I have not yet recorded, but I would need better images of the legend on the Obverse to be certain and include it.

Thanks boy's, will try and post better scans colin this week.

cheers james.

@MACKSILKY. you can email them directly to me if you prefer

Thanks colin, i'll just post the scans on the forum it may help other members. Can you tell me is there much difference regarding the legends on both obverses?

cheers james.

Oh right - I've used your site before but didn't notice the divergence. Thanks!

Depends on which reign you are looking at, the Victoria Bunhead section is the one that definitely outstanding.

The best i can do, a couple of scans of the legend on obverse. Hope they are a bit clearer.

thanks james.
