I would be very happy to have this one in my collection. They circulated throughout the Australian Colonies, and as such, form an essential part of Australian coinage history.
It's the 1827 penny that is the really tough one to get in VF or better. They are worth $thousands in top condition.
The 1827 date for the penny was never released into circulation in Great Britain; all of them were released into circulation in Tasmania.
They all saw very heavy circulation over an extended period of time, and they NEVER turn up in top condition. You are even very lucky once in a lifetime to find one in G condition.
