<p>[QUOTE="PaddyB, post: 3972127, member: 40017"]Yes - I was just looking at the same listing. I still have a concern that London Coins are mis-listing some of these! There are some, like yours and the picture above, where there is a metal chunk almost filling the gap between the arms of the F, and there are others in their list where there is more evidence of an underlying letter. (Base of another letter showing beneath the F and a more rounded appearance to the F gap.) I suspect there maybe more than one style of this variety. There seem to be a number with your variety, but only one I have seen so far with the more obvious under letter - and that in much poorer condition...</p><p>Also I am concerned that something listed as "Very Rare" seems to be turning up rather often.</p><p>In the end, if you can get it into a posh auction with the F over P attribution, it looks like it would go for good money![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Also I am concerned that something listed as "Very Rare" seems to be turning up rather often. In the end, if you can get it into a posh auction with the F over P attribution, it looks like it would go for good money![/QUOTE]
