les occ Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 I found a 1863 penny with a short serif 3 imposed derictly on a long serif 3. The New 3 can be seen clearly surrounded by the remains of the old 3 (greenish /white)as well as the end of the longer serif forming a blob.his this a known variation. I have not be able to find one Quote

les occ Posted December 31, 2010 Author Posted December 31, 2010 see if this is better. It is diffict around the 3 due to all the excess remains of the original' the New 3 is bronze coloured Quote
declanwmagee Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 what do you make of this then, O penny experts? 1863/1? That'd be funny... Quote
1949threepence Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 what do you make of this then, O penny experts? 1863/1? That'd be funny...There are marks all along the exergue. What appears to be the foot of an underlying "1" is most likely just another mark.Interesting though. Quote
declanwmagee Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Thanks for that, '49. I was in two minds about it and failed to find a picture of one anywhere, so I couldn't see exactly where the 1 is, under the 3. London Coins sold one for £1100 not too long ago, but they didn't have a picture. I did learn all about slender and open 3 1863s while I was at it though, so time well spent. Anyone care to contribute a 1863/1 pic so I know what I'm looking for next time? Quote

azda Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 what do you make of this then, O penny experts? 1863/1? That'd be funny...There's also something on the curve,on the outside Quote

azda Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 You're correct Peck, i just saw something on the curve of the 3 and thought i'd mention it Quote
azda Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) You're correct Peck, i just saw something on the curve of the 3 and thought i'd mention it. This topic is also in the unlisted variety section, if its in the Gouby book i would assume its already a confirmed variety? Anyway, incase no one saw it, here's what i meant.
