I also have a F over F in two specimens of Reverse C 1860 toothed both show the same position of the F over the F so I assume we can find others ...a nice error this I hope you enjoy it too

I thought I might start listing some of my half penny characters. It would be mice to have them listed so others might look see if we have matches . I am not going to argue that they are varieties they are anomalies and this would seem , to me at least, to be the best place to share them 1860 toothed 8 over 8 it is the rounded lighthouse type the A is over the older curly based A in HALF and there is a very clear error in the placement of the I in Victoria on the obverse I HOPE THIS INTERESTS SOME ...MANY THANKS

Agree. I would buy the bottom coin (and not only because I don't like slabs). There seems to be some wear to the hair on the obverse on the slabbed coin. Here's mine, in case it's of any interest.

I laughed more at the 68p postage

Have you got this the wrong way round? I think the bottom coin is better struck esp. for the reverse.

If the seller had only looked down, there is an AUNC example for a "mere" £185 in 'Similar items' !

I concur. IMHO the upgraded coin is more desirable.

prefer the bottom , only my opinion though....

Quite right I got my tops and bottoms mixed. Just to be clear I thought the bottom coin (un graded) was the better coin. Sorry for the confusion. In my defence when I posted the images I though they would be horizontal but instead they were in vertical order and I had to edit the post and made a mistake mixing my tops and bottoms.

I would rather have the ungraded bottom coin. Looks better and struck better than the top MS64.

Why do you say C over G ? I'm more inclined to say a repunched C as it appears to be an underlying C.
