I spent a good ten minutes exploring this one with a loupe, trying to find some evidence of wear, but I really struggled. Each leaf vein is still sharp, the hairlines go right to the end of each curl, but it does have slight discolouration that, if anything, the photo exaggerates.
Crisp, clear, and breathtakingly beautiful. Like a spring morning. Coins of this quality really do make life better.
You can identify Reverse A by the single incuse line on the saltire (St. Andrew's Cross on the shield). The line is raised on Rev B.
A beautiful design and a very respectable grade. I love these.
Obverse 1 with close colons. ...close colons are slightly tilted.
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.
Although minted with the Colonies in mind, these did circulate in Great Britain, but not for long. Even in 1844 there wasn't much you could buy for 1/1920th of a Pound. This one has a slight titled E in REG, for those who like their microvarieties. I know I do.
Brilliant Uncirculated: you could be forgiven for mistaking this coin for a Proof - it has those distinctive sharp edges. It's not a Proof, but it must be a very early strike because it is absolutely gorgeous. You'd never need to upgrade.
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.
