Help Request - Is this an rare 1881H Penny variant?

[DarkSithLord]

 

Good evening all.

I am been extremely fortunate to come in to the possession of a collection of extremely high grade and choice Victorian Pennies amogst them a 1860 Penny Mule example in UNC!

 

Anyway I was wondering if I could ask the experts on this forum for some advice as to this 1881 H example

 

Could someone please confirm my suspension that this is the following example https://rarestpennies.wordpress.com/1881h-f103/

 

1881H F103 (Gouby M+p; Freeman 9+M) (R18)

 

 

 

 

Many Thanks

I look forward to your responses

No sorry ,it isnt ,maybe have a look at the website you have put a link for which explains why not.

However the 1860 Mule have you got a picture of that one please ?

Yes I will upload a picture of the Mule. Thanks for the reply. I did look at the website. Under a magnifying glass I counted 6 border teeth from the up right  of the R to the top of the I in Victoria which matches with Obverse P? I bow to your superior knowledge however so Obverse P isnt the rare variant then?

Maybe the confusion is looking at the Gouby reference rather than Freeman.

Freeman 103 is Freeman OBV 9 which is 5 teeth between the R and the I of Victoria.

Look forward to seeing your pictures of the rare mule ,infact any others that you are lucky enough to now own 👍

I will upload the mule tomorrow and maybe the other pennies in a quite superb collection of some 20 high grade and very nice pennies.

You will have to excuse me if I am being a little dense.

 

Is the rare variation Obverse M or Obverse P?

It is Gouby Obverse M and Freeman Obverse 9.

Richard who is a forum member has the really good website with pictures of the rare pennies you linked above ,maybe some of yours can be added 👍

My website states quite clearly that F103 has obverse M with 5 teeth from R to I and so your "suspension" is incorrect.
