Can someone help with identifying my 1861 penny. I have tried to look at the variances but got a bit bogged down.

Hi Greenwalkers and welcome to the Forum!


Please could you post larger photos of both sides of the coin? From the small photos you've posted, it will be very difficult to identify the variety. Thanks!

Thanks, Greenwalkers!

It looks like a 'no signature' variety: I can't see the signature on either obverse or reverse and I'd expect it to be visible on a coin in this condition. I'd tentatively say it's Obverse 6 and Reverse G (Spink) although I am not 100% confident - I am sure that other GB collectors will share their expertise!
