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. There's a lot of die repairs in GRATIA on this example.
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.
I have found myself building up quite a sub-specialisation in 1858 pennies, by Gouby number. At last count nine different types had passed through my hands - all 1858, all different date types and overdates. Micro-collecting at its best!
This is a coin that has seen very little circulation. There's a little dig just behind the head on the obverse, I thought it might be an occlusion initially.
Pleasing example with honest wear but no damage. Most of these do have something glaring wrong with them, you'll find, but this one doesn't.
Lovely mature lustre and very little wear to speak of. Top quality material I think you'll agree.
Very much scarcer than the normal 1895 penny, the 2mm refers to the gap between the trident and the P. Peck says Very Rare. Freeman says R8.
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.
Before you get too excited, I ought to point out that the Low Tide 1897 is the commoner of the two varieties.There are enough unidentified examples of the scarcer High Tides out there to make them worth checking for though.
