Iannich48 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Hi guys, could you just confirm for me which obverse you think that this coin is. Thanks, Ian Quote
Paddy Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 As everyone knows, not my speciality, but using Secret Santa's website I think it has to be Gouby C1? Beaded border, eye face vertical, thicker border and linear circle at the left ends by second tooth, not fourth. Quote
jelida Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) It’s the standard beaded penny obverse, Freeman 1, Gouby C as used with Freeman 1, 6 and 7 pennies. Jerry Edited January 28, 2021 by jelida Quote
Iannich48 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 Thanks Paddy & Jerry. I had it in my head that it could be a Freeman 1*. It is a nice coin, but not cheap. Quote
Paddy Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I don't think it can be a Freeman 1* - the eye is definitely a Freeman 1 style (Gouby C). The only debate is whether it is Gouby C or C1. Using @secret santa site, the slightly broader rim and the linear line ending short on the left is why I think it is C1, not C. But I will bow to greater knowledge - any other input? Quote
Iannich48 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 I was looking at the R & E of reg looking to be joined tbh, but thanks again. Quote
secret santa Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 On obverse C1 the 6th to 11th beads below the bust touch the bust whereas on C they do not. Quote
Iannich48 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 Thanks Richard, i should have spotted that on your website. Excellent info from everbody, thanks. It is an F6 on eBay, just as described. Quote
