I'm negotiating a price with a buyer and I've always noticed something wrong with the 5. Is this an 1845/3? If so, what would be a good price to sell at?
Ok, thanks for your opinion! I wasn't so sure either because I've seen poorer examples of the coin with a much clearer 5, but all the examples I can find of the 1845/3 online have a really messed up 5.
It is a tough call, as the surfaces of this example seem rough... It might be, but frankly, as a dealer, I would not feel comfortable retailing it as an overdate owing to the terrible knocks / poor surface. British collectors tend to be discerning, so retail will not be good - the prices you might find will almost be unilaterally for problem-free examples. Also, bear in mind that die deterioration and date re-punching are common during this period. I would advise to steer clear.
Hmm, I have seen similar passed off as the overdate. I will try to post a picture of mine - I would not really give it a premium and condition is sadly not quite what many are looking for.
Not convinced. I have a picture of one I know is a 5/3, but it is in a word document and only shows a blank page when I try to upload it. If anyone can get this to work, here is the file 1845 5 over 3
