1862 VIGTORIA??

[absence of uniformity]

The reason I'm careful what I share is because I found this coin below 1862 VIGTORIA and purchased the coin.

I shared the images of the coin using the seller's images and strangely a few hours after purchasing the seller refunded me my £6 and said they cant find the coin....

Is it possible somebody done a reverse image search, contacted the seller and offered a few hundred quid I dont know. Or maybe its a true story.

If you see this coin anywhere on the internet for sale please let me know. The damage/pitting under the chin is quite unique plus the rim damage.

I was was quite disheartened as I searched high and low for that coin.

Strangely after obviously contacting the seller a fair few times to see if the coin reappeared they didnt respond apart from once asking why is the coin so valuable??????

Il leave that with you.

By shared I mean I sent the images to a few people not posted it to any forum or the open internet...

Certainly does'nt look like a G does it.

I too would doubt that it is a VIGTORIA, speaking as someone who already owns one. The ‘G’ component is not large enough or the right shape, though I agree the blurred photo is vaguely similar at a glance. Don’t loose sleep over it. And don’t advertise or share images until a  coin is in your hand!

Here's a definite Vigtoria. I don't think your G looks the same, even allowing for the condition. Compare it to the two Gs in D.G. and REG on "your" coin and I think it's pretty clear.

Personally I think the seller saved you £6.

I don't think so. Terry - that's my own coin and it's not the one featured here.

Thanks Terry - I'll add it to the site.

Sorry about that Richard but it does look like No 11 . And I've also made a slip up above as its a 4+D 🙃
