Help me please with approx. value of this coin because I have no idea from Freeman variety but one man from my city ask to buy this coin from me. The coin has some minor rim nicks on the rim. Thanks.

Hi, the Penny looks like a Freeman 66, obverse 6 (large gap btween ribbo and back of neck), reverse G (wide date and sea crosses linear circle)

I would agree with that, the 2nd most common of the 12 generally acknowledged 1874 varieties. Looks around GVF, retail price £30-£35 perhaps less as mid-grade bun pennies are hardly flying off the shelves at present.

The 1d boys seem to go for GEF + unless its one of those "RARE" :huh: blank discs...open 3 type thingies B) .

I won't split hairs on the grade but it is a very nice GVF maybe approaching NEF.

If MP sold it he would grade GEF. :o

Close, I would have guessed 'Practically UNC'

I think it`s not over GVF in british standard, and there are some rim nicks and something on the hair probably difficult to clean.

This is after gram oil:

Wrong terminology ... He uses virtually uncirculated ... Spink say the coin is worth £1000 :)
