Debbie Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 As several of you have kindly pointed me in the direction of a few nice engraved coins here's a coin which I thought might be of interest to a few of you penny enthusiasts on the forum. Looks a decent grade to me - but then I am only a beginner of course!worth a go? Quote
azda Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Debbie, the copper Pennies were Plagued with die recuts, as i was told when i initially started out collecting pennies, its harder to find One that has'nt been touched up somewhere. Quote
declanwmagee Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Apart from that, it's a lovely coin, I think. I might have a bite myself. Quite by accident I found I had a good selection of 1858 overdates so starting actively filling gaps by Gouby classification of them. Gouby's 1858 page - well worth a read Quote

Debbie Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 That's interesting Declan, was it that year in particular or was it because you yourself happened to have lots of examples for then? Wow, someone sneaked in and took a photo of my own example! Seriously, it's almost identical in every respectOooer.....two the same - does that make it a variety?!!! Quote
