coggin Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 I have a 1858 Penny with the A missing from VICTORIA in the legend. Is this rare or worth any thing? (could use a new yacht ) Quote
Chingford Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 I have a 1858 Penny with the A missing from VICTORIA in the legend. Is this rare or worth any thing? (could use a new yacht )They usually occur when parts of the die fills during striking, usually get a faint outline, this wears with age/use, under a lens you will probably find traces.I wouldn't say they are worth a great deal more than the usual price for the grade.One of my examples Quote
