Even without the rarest of the die alterations, this is a good date. Peck describes this one as Very Rare, and Bramah, who is not known for his overstatement of such things, uses the term Rare.
I must say, I'm developing quite a taste for big pre-1860 copper coins. The mark behind Victoria's neck is just a carbon streak, not a scratch. It's a very high grade coin.
Lovely crisp lettering, full hairbands and excellent hair detail, and a full Union Jack. Tone's nice too!
Initially recognised by Ernest Bramah, in his 1929 publication "A guide to the varieties and rarity of English regal copper coins: Charles II-Victoria, 1671-1860". Bramah catalogued the variety as No. 25c, and described it as Rare. The distinguishing features of this die are the shallow feature to the right of the join between the two loops of the 8 and the little tooth within the lower loop.
Lovely mature lustre and very little wear to speak of. Top quality material I think you'll agree.
aUNC. Beautiful example of this ever-popular series. Makes you glad to be a coinie.
Top grade Bun Pennies. Can you get enough of them? I can't. Corking example from this ever-popular series.
The lustre is quite speckledy, but it is there, and this is a very strong coin. High grade Bun Pennies will never go out of fashion now.
aUNC. You often see this streaky lustre in the bronze coinage of the early twentieth century, but it's quite unusual to find one this early. I quite like it.
Scarcer date in an exceedingly high grade, with an attractive lustre over about 70% of the reverse and the whole of the obverse. Top stuff really.
