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.
Although listed in Peck and in Bramah, the Ornamental trident variety with the close colon has, inexplicably, never been listed in Spink.
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.
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!
Some honest wear, but no serious problems, and this is a Rare coin. It's a combination of the first toothed reverse, which retains the LCW signature below the shield, and the first of the obverses that had had the signature under the bust cut away.
Possibly wiped a while ago, but it's recovered well and still retains a significant amount of original lustre. It's a very attractive example.
Difficult date, not the commonest variety, and a very respectable grade. Peck: Scarce. Freeman: R6.
A very difficult to find Obverse 3 example of the 1875 sixpence. The vast majority of 1875 sixpences are Obverse 4.
This is an extremely difficult Davies number to find in any grade, but in a gorgeous aUNC like this, it's extremely rare. The vast majority of No Die number 1879s are Reverse D. This one is Reverse C - there are some subtle differences in the wreath, but the giveaway is the wider date, 11 beads, rather than the 10 found on Rev D. Rare date in ESC regardless.
