That's a nice 1806, Dale. So many of these old copper have been beat up by the passage of time...sometimes on purpose.

Thanks
It has a lamination of some sort at 7 o'clock but it still looks good for 214 years old.

Yeah, I see it now. Hard to tell what it is...maybe a small gough or ding. It doesn't distract at all though because of where it is. As a matter of fact I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it.

Close up of the flaw.

Looks like something struck the coin and peeled back a bit of copper. Are those two small lines die cracks?

No, just paper lint from the holder.

Do you know which Freeman number the 1861 is?
No, I'm sorry I don't know.

Another favourite, this time a 1932 George V penny. This one I am very proud to own as it is an Ex Copthorne Collection; Auctioned by Colin Cooke 17th May-24 May 2016
One of a couple I won. The first photo is the auction pic against white; the second is my pic against black, for comparison.
