1860 Jb (V over inverted A)

[secret santa]

I have spoken to Michael Gouby re this coin and he is 100% sure that it is an inverted A.

He says :

"The centre "A" bar is clear and solid.

A tiny bit of the 'foot' of the inverted A can be seen just above the left leg of the 'V'.

The 'I' of VIC has also been double struck.

I am lucky enough to have taken an enhanced scan of the whole of the word VICTORIA.

Richard, if you want to post this picture or my comments on the Pre Decimal website – feel free to do so.

I am sorry that I don't seem to have time be active on the forum but I am always willing to help with any question that I can answer.

Here is Michael's photo:

Thanks Richard, it would be surprising if no other examples of this type have been found since Michaels book was published

"The centre "A" bar is clear and solid. The coin I have clearly shows this. Nice to find one that has a MG number associated and from what I can see no other examples are known. When I look at the earlier prices for the F90 you can clearly see the early sales are higher value for worse condition coins. And as they have been discovered the prices drop off. Does this apply to this type?

Same location, same size, clear and solid, and same die pairing.
