ski Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 the small 8 variety of the 1819 sixpence is catalogued in esc as the 8 being very small. looking at my 1819 the 8 does look smaller, but maybe its the right size but displaced.How small is the 8? and do you think my coin is the regular 8 or not?Ski Quote

declanwmagee Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Here's mine. I've catalogued this one as Small 8. Quote
Nick Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Here's mine. I've no idea whether it's the small or normal variety. Quote
ski Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 thanks all.....seems like a regular 8 even if it is a little irregular as peck points out.I will leave it catalogued as is for now.Ski Quote
Coinery Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Declan's got the smallest one! Edit: if the foot of Declan's first 1 was parallel with the rim, his 8 would look EVEN smaller! Edited March 23, 2013 by Coinery Quote
