jelida Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Yes, I bid over £1300 for the 1860 penny, and two others rated it higher, despite its faults. But I still have plenty of less esoteric pennies to spend my money on.Did a forum member win it?Jerry Quote
jacinbox Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Not the same as the Workman example http://www.colincooke.com/coin_images/workman2/2-002a.jpgAnyone know the population report for F8B. Dies B+b. Satin 3. Gouby BB. Freeman R18 I supposeThe Workman example was meant to sell for between £1000 - £1200 Quote
secret santa Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 The Ebay coin was an A+b (F763) Quote
jacinbox Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Really? Ummm I assumed it was a obv 1* rev B making it a Freeman 8B.Would you have any pics my Freeman book jumps from F762 to 768 directly. There is no F763. Thanks for your input.Also any info on rarity etc about the coin would be much appreciated. Edited September 20, 2015 by jacinbox Quote

secret santa Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Freeman doesn't differentiate between Gouby A and B. The big difference which you can only see on unworn specimens is in the engraving on Victoria's cape. On obverse A the stem of the upper right clover leaf is long and stretches down to the rose on the left. On obverse B, the stems of the two top right clover join below them at the top of the third clover leaf. The clover leaves are smaller on obverse B. Gouby then goes on to note 2 minor variations in obverse A - one where the R & E of REG touch at the bottom and the other where R is rotated slightly so that its toe is a little below the back of the E. Pretty geeky stuff ! But the Ebay coin is clearly an obverse A.If you want to see pictures, take a look at my collection website which I'm putting together (thanks to members who have given me tips)Address is www.englishpennies.wordpress.comFreeman 763 is one of the more common examples of the early beaded patterns but still a rare coin. 4 Quote
