Mrs is sometimes working at charity shop, and she told me she received some new £1, so i agree with Paddy, it's not too scarce.

Here you go! https://auctions.sovr.co.uk/index.php?option=com_timed_auction&auction_id=29&gridtype=listview

They stopped using easylive years already, so there is no upcoming LCA sales you can find in the portal

yes, years ago, you can bid through easyliveauction for LCA.

Agree, need to be very careful about description and their grading when going through LCA auction.

Oh....since i used to be outbidded at Noonans, i didn't pay too much attention to the auction. But i had a brief look that lot before and thought if the 44 penny was cleaned...not noticed the DFF😪

the bubble near SH"I"LLING is another hint of possibly counterfeit. Deliberately doing an imperfect toned coin making it harder to spot a fake coin.

Congratulation Paddy, it's a very very good find, I wish I can find the same in auction or elsewhere at a fair price too. By comparing your pictures with those in link provided and also discussion in another forum and taking into account toning and minor rim nick, I think it's likely a geniue one.

Sorry, only read the message now, and yes Rob explained the obverse 2.

Agree to all, 1859. Obverse 2, with 2nd I in BRITANNIAR to gap.

An example of excellent Google translate 😂

I would say go also cos once it is in your mind about upgrade, you will always think about it until it's upgraded. Take time to search for a similar tone and reasonably priced ones.

On the other hand, for 1887 Sixpence, JEB on Truncation is the one that keeps an eye on.

Similar situation to me also in last 2 years, more medals than coins, but not many purchases were made in view of strong coin and also medal prices.
