1862/1 Penny

[niyuco 0]

Penny collectors may be interested in the next London Coins sale where I have entered several coins from my personal collection, including an 1862/1 overdate. The photo in the catalogue isn't the best but it's actually a very clear overdate. Here is my photo taken with a macro lens:

The last time one of these was publicly offered for sale to my knowledge was 2006 (DNW - Laurie Bamford sale)

ooh, Lot 1837. That's a far better pic than the one in their glossy...

Thank you for the heads-up and the better photo! Are you selling pennies generally, or just your duplicates?

Did I not read somewhere that there is only 1 known example of this coin? Go on shoot me down

Lot 386.. Isn't the 1953 beaded/toothed believed to be unique?

It was once believed to be unique, but certainly isn't. DNW sold a different one in a VIP set last year.

Mostly sold already but I've saved the better ones for last. I'm doing a degree and the fees are expensive so they've gotta go.

Gouby said 2 but that doesn't include this one. I think there might be 1 or 2 more around somewhere. It's probably not more than 5 and none better than Fine that I know of...

It's nicer than mine..... the image in Michael.Gouby's book...

I think I had seen 2 others at auction plus 1 in a collection...

Could be a duplicate amongst them though.....

Probably a few others that we aren't aware of too....

Well done on the £2,000 Niyuco! That's gone in my book
