1860 penny, tripled "F" variety?

[Guest coinpictures_I'm_a_Guest]

I posted about this on another forum, but I'm trying to find out as much information about this coin as I can. I found it today, of all places, in a pawn shop. Seems to be a weak strike, uncirculated (under a 10x loupe I don't see any signs of wear).

What is especially of interest, is the tripled "F" on the obverse (see last picture, closeup).

These are large pictures, so please be patient.

Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware this is not a variety that's listed anywhere.

Overstrikes are pretty common in the early bun pennies and unless it's one letter/digit over a DIFFERENT letter/digit they do not usually attract any significant premiums or attract any great collector attention.

There's one for sale here

but it's seriously overpriced IMHO.

A very nice find anyway

I've seen or owned about 5 off them, although this is among the nicest that I've seen, and much nicer than the one in my collection....

NICE FIND....

Let me know if you want to part with it.....
