<p>[QUOTE=&quot;becky62, post: 488174, member: 15105&quot;]I love these big bronze Irish 1 penny coins &amp; have a few of them. <i>Oh to have one in <u>BU</u> condition!</i> Can someone please give me a link on how to tell the &quot;chickless&quot; variety? :hatch:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Op&#039;s coin has rim damage @ 9:00 both sides. However the fields are fairly clean, free of any <u>deep</u> scratches or gouges. Looks to have an original skin on it as well, uncleaned. Still a good example. I&#039;d call it a Very Fine with rim damage. Not enough of the detail on the harp (and the hens left wing and face are worn) to go EF. (Unless this is a bad scan)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>KM#11 in Krause and valued at .50 cents for VF and for $2.00 EF. Keep the coin and don&#039;t clean it!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you have any like it that say SAORSTAT EIREANN (1928 to 1937 Irish Free State pennies) on the obverse in stead of EIRE, you have a more valuable coin than those of 1940 and up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
