I want to find out the value, because i want to sell it soon. Can anyone tell me the value, and if it has a slender number or a die number or none. Thanks Quote
declanwmagee Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Sorry, old chap, nothing special - no die numbers and just the normal 3. You'd probably get a few quid for it on eBay, and if you get double figures you'll have done well. Quote

scirbbles Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 Does this have a 8/6 on it? And why is the value soo small? Quote
Peckris Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Declan is a bit low in my opinion. It's not far off EF but it has some edge knocks which let it down. £20 at a rough guess (£30+ if it didn't have the knocks).All the common varieties from 1861 to 1863 are just that - very common, with big mintages following the Mint's changeover from copper to bronze. From 1864 the picture changes, and many dates are scarce until 1874 and 1875. They get really common again from 1889 to 1893. Edited November 13, 2014 by Peckris Quote

A bog standard 1863, even in uncirculated condition, wouldn't be worth a tenth of that figure. Quote
Peckris Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 The normal 1863 is one of the most common early bun pennies, as are the common varieties of 1861 and 1862. They were new so many got put aside. From 1864 they start getting scarce especially in top grades, but there are also squillions of different varieties - some extremely rare - between 1860 and 1861. It's a specialist subject in its own right - very complex. 1 Quote
zookeeperz Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 That is a very interesting 1863 Penny did anyone bother to blow it up? You'll see what I mean Does something slender tilted lurk beneath? Quote

Rob Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Yes, the resolution is set too low. Needs more pixels. Actual rather than imagined evidence is far more convincing. 1 Quote
