Mr T Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 When I bought it at LCA a few years ago, someone there told me it had been found in a dealer's bowl !!!! So it had been around since issue, probably, and no-one had noticed that it has an ME obverse as well which is the most striking thing about it. So there may well be more.............................That sounds about right - I suppose everyone has been too interested in finding a Freeman 192A for so long and didn't give this any more than a second glance.

It does give hope to us all that there are further varieties still to be discovered...... 1
Mr T Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 True, though the denticles look a bit shorter to me (at a glance the Freeman 192A's long denticles are always quite an obvious feature).In any case, I doubt the last page has been written on pennies yet.
Guest sir art midace Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 This coin is what some call the bronz ment the spot on the shaft is why the tip of the trident is where it is and not below the tooth. This is one of the first made . The next 10 or so will be normal untill die is charged. and same process where pin is insert to alignment of coin now the 27 reverse ismade with no alignment pin .
