Penny 1862 2 over 1 Gouby BP1862G (J+g)

[Voynov_BG]

Hello everyone :)
I intend to release a few coins for sale on ebay next month, including this rare coin, and before this I put here some pictures. My coin has one tooth in the upper part of figure 2 from inside, which I'm not sure I see in the book of the Michael Gouby and in these two auctions:

Is any of you able to confirm that my coin is the same as these two and as this on the Michael Gouby book?
Thank you.

Certainly appears to be a 2 over 1,well done, rare coin. I must admit the top spike under the arch of the 2 doesn’t show on mine, or Richards I think, but I suspect probably the same die.

Yes, now I see all three coins have the same linear circle bottom right of "2". Looks to be the same coin. Thank you. Maybe your coin is just weak strike.

But... how many of these really are known now, 2017, maybe 5-6 including my coin? Any suggestions?

I am aware of five, including yours. I dare say there are a few more out there, but it remains an excessively rare coin. You might get a better return from a specialist auction than Ebay despite the difference in sellers premium. The LCA coin you reference gives you a rough idea of the value, though the provenance of that coin, being I think the Laurie Bamford example, might have helped. As always, the final price is governed by demand.

Probably >10. Five of whatever the total number in existence is, can be seen here, on Richard's rarest penny site. Yours isn't amongst them. So that makes a minimum of 6.

I have now added this coin to my website - I hope this is OK with you Voynov ?

[Voynov_BG]

Yes of course!
Wow, a pretty interesting site, for the first time I see it

Ooops...

Another coin, with massive die crack at right that maybe is reason to be very rare coin. Massive die crack that is probably last or maybe one of the last coins struck with him.

Better if your interested in a coin and bidding on it not to put it on here

But if you want to test the market, maybe it's best to post here.  I was clear that I would not win it, two people gave a double higher bid than me.
