stormbass Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Hello. Please help me to id this 1860 penny. Down is the link for my OneDrive. https://1oumontana-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/todorov_1ou-montana_com/EjYpyXn7EaJIrmSg_xSyHMcB8IFlzSDupuZIurKR27PfSg?e=NwbniN Quote
mrbadexample Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Welcome to the forum stormbass. I've uploaded your pictures to make it easier for people. I'll take a punt at F10 but someone cleverer will come along in a bit and tell you what it really is. Edited March 12, 2018 by mrbadexample Quote
zookeeperz Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Although I cannot see any sig on bust I am sure it must be there pretty sure you have 2+D F10 Penny 1 Quote
mrbadexample Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) I thought it looked very similar to Richard's picture of the "Freeman 2*"? Lettering in particular looks almost identical with the missing bits. Edited March 12, 2018 by mrbadexample Quote

The E's and the Y in "ONE PENNY", stand out as knackered. Similarly with the unclosed O and on the obverse, the C, A & T in VICTORIA (and T in BRITT), as well as the sort of missing lower colon dot after "REG". Presumably the result of a worn die, but I've never seen an 1860 penny in quite such rough shape, worn die wise. 1 Quote
