Penny 1860 Toothed Border, E of PENNY over P unlisted by Freeman, Freeman dies 4+D, Satin 15, Gouby BP1860NA, (dies F+d) a couple of edge bumps, Fine, with a pleasing even appearance, considerably superior to the example offered in London Coins Auction A141 June 2013 (Lot 1940) which realised £3000 hammer price, of the highest rarity, Ex-Laurie BamfordcollectionDNW 20/6/2006 Lot 22 (realised £950 hammer price), Ex-Dr.D.Ball April 1997, we note at the time of the Laurie Bamford sale there was only one example known, (source J.Jerrams 2001) and to our knowledge only the London Coins A141 coin has shown up since, so believed to be the finest of the two known examples
Penny 1860 with E of PENNY clearly struck over a P Satin 15 VF for wear with light pitting across the coin, the rarity given in John Jerrams book as 'handful known' being no more than six examples thought to exist. The census of the rare varieties in this book shows that up to 2001 only one other example had been recorded, one in Good Fine condition, and another in Fine in the Laurie Bamfordcollection has since realised £950 hammer price, so this current coin thus far the finest known recorded example, a very important coin in this series
