The entire shipment of 1827 pennies ended up in Tasmania, perhaps by way of the West Indies. The climate and long sea voyages in wooden crates resulted in the vast majority of remaining examples displaying the porosity you can see on this one. Not a great deal of actual wear though, as the Union Flag on the shield will testify.
Nice strong example of what is fast becoming my favourite series. I just love the weight of 'em, and the surface texture, when they're this good.
Very decent example of what is fast becoming my favourite series. You could spend a lifetime studying copper pennies of Victoria and still not discover every type. I just love the weight of 'em too, and the surface texture, when they're this good.

No serifs to the I of BRIT The variety is recognised by Ernest Bramah, whose 1929 publication "A guide to the varieties and rarity of English regal copper coins: Charles II-Victoria, 1671-1860" was heavily referenced by Peck. Bramah catalogues it as No 26a, and describes it as Rare.
From the detail, which is well over VF, this is a coin that has seen very little circulation.
In an attempt to reduce the overuse of the word, we'll only describe a coin as Rare if the literature uses it. In this case: Peck: Very Rare, Freeman: R11

Difficult date, not the commonest variety, and an excellent high grade. Peck: Scarce. Freeman: R6
Difficult date, and a more than decent grade, but I am not sure about the colour. There are none of the signs of abrasive cleaning, but the colour does suggest that something may have done to this one, probably a long time ago... Peck: Scarce Freeman: R5
