A nice honest coin Bob. You do have an eye for rarities.

Difficult date - nice coin but you are very pleased

I'd rate it VF+ though I'm a bit bothered by the tone (it might just be the photo).

The camera lightened the coin up somewhat. The coin is really slightly darker than the pciture. Thanks to all for the comments.

Lovely penny!

I tought VF+ too and when I went to the book section to have a look at the bun heads on the cover of Grading British Coins I found I could get a PDF copy of England's Striking History for less than the cost of the postage on a hard copy.

My lucky day.

Nice coin Bob. Is it just my eyes or does that lighthouse look more like the leaning tower of Pisa!

It does look that way LOL, but I think it is just the reflection of the rock to the right of the lighthouse, that makes the sea look like it is going uphill from left to right!
