<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3242366, member: 10461&quot;]Thanks.&nbsp; It&#039;s a penny, then.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a bunch of varieties, it turns out.&nbsp; Look for traces of various overdates.&nbsp; I can&#039;t really tell from the photos.&nbsp; You&#039;ll need a good loupe or magnifying glass, and even then it will be hard to tell, but the last 8 in the date does look like it might have another numeral underneath it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d say your coin barely makes Fine (F12) by American standards, so most of the common varieties will be worth $8.00 in the F12 grade, per Krause.&nbsp; The 1858/3 and the 1858/6 are worth $25.00 in that grade.&nbsp; To make things even more confusing, there are also large date and small date varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m afraid I can&#039;t help with pinning down the exact variety, but perhaps some of our UK specialist members can.&nbsp; Try it on the World Coins forum and title your thread something like, &quot;<i>Help with variety on 1858 British penny?</i>&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime, <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/great-britain-penny-km-739-1841-1860-59-cuid-1168088-duid-1322843" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/great-britain-penny-km-739-1841-1860-59-cuid-1168088-duid-1322843" rel="nofollow">here is the Krause/NGC priceguide page</a> that shows you the list of varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most likely it&#039;s a more common variety and thus an $8-ish coin, or perhaps a tiny bit less if one allows for the minor surface issues.&nbsp; That&#039;s the assumption I would go with if you can&#039;t prove it&#039;s one of the better varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless of the modest value, I like these early Victoria large pennies.&nbsp; They&#039;re just cool coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
