PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 02/15/2018 4:50 pm While we are at it, what grade (UK or US) would you give to this one? Both this 1826 and the 1831 posted separately came from a collection I bought about 6 years ago - they always surprise me how good they are when I get them out. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/15/2018 5:20 pm Exceptional British copper; comes as no surprise to me that you are quite satisfied with it. Miniscule amount of high point wear on tip of ribbon near truncation of neck, and cheek, eyebrow, and perhaps on two of the garland leaf tips. ( obv.) Wear on these points long since patinated over. Hit on field near trident. Cut below knee on rev. doesn't help. A few tiny rim bumps. Nice patina. gEF (British), AU58. Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 02/15/2018 5:50 pm I think the rim bumps and some of the other marks are significant enough that on the Sheldon scale it doesn't top AU53. Still a coin anybody ought to be proud to own. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
pwa 1967 Valued Member United Kingdom 190 Posts	Posted 02/15/2018 7:34 pm Its EF paddy IMO.Also appears to be a six over one that is collectible although unrecorded. A setting out error with the one entered first but should of been done in reverse on the die. Would really need a close up picture of the six but I am pretty sure it is. Report this Post to the Staff
PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 03:53 am Wow @PWA 1967 your eyes are sharp! Here is an enlargement of the date and now you point it out I can see the tail of the one below the 6. Report this Post to the Staff
