mrbadexample Posted January 29, 2021 Author Posted January 29, 2021 I thought I'd see how my F264 compares to others out there. Well, I would if I could find any. "Worthpoint", whatever that is, has a picture of a green one that was on ebay but no further info without signing up. None at LCA or DNW that I can see. Can anyone point me to past auctions for this one please? I'm probably just not looking in the right place. Cheers. Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Here is the example in my collection. I thought I had another, but I can't locate it now. Possibly sold on ebay, but I can't access my records in turbolister... Quote

Iannich48 Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 I have searched as well, and i cannot find anything either. 1 Quote
mrbadexample Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 I bought half a dozen 1860/61 halfpennies to alleviate lockdown boredom. I couldn't see much detail, only that the 1860 was toothed. 2+B, F261? Quote
mrbadexample Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 This was the best of the 1861s, perhaps the only one that will ultimately be identifiable. I think this is obverse 5 with the die flaw on the forehead? If so it's the first obverse 5 I've had in hand so nice to see what the flaw looks like. Reverse E so F274? Quote
mrbadexample Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 I thought I might have been lucky and bagged a 6/8 (F274A) but although it's the right die pairing it doesn't match other examples I've found. Dracott lists a 6/6 (but no 6/8) but I think if this was a match he'd have mentioned the 8 too. Can I ask what others think please? Quote

I don't have my Obverse 5 to hand but from memory it looks right. Quote

It doesn't look quite right compared to the example on Richard's site but obviously it's a lot more worn. The other 4 1861s turned out to be all 7+G, F282 as far as I can tell so nothing exciting there. I didn't have one so the best will fill a gap, and I wanted one to send to the chap who sent me the F269 so he has one of the same date. For a quid each I'm not too distressed. 1 Quote

If I did this correctly, it should link to different variants of the F-274a that I posted a while back... http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/3664-coin-aquisition-of-the-week/?page=30&tab=comments#comment-39212 1 Quote
