British Coins, Victoria, penny, 1860, toothed border, young head l., signature on cape, colon dots: after G: of D: G: to a tooth, rev. Britannia std. r. with shield and trident, LCW below shield (M. BP1860 J; F.10; P.1629), two obverse die cracks from edge at 5 and 7 o'clock, a couple of letters double struck, about uncirculated with slightly streaky lustre, slightly more so on the reverse, approximately 60/50%
In view of the fact that the die crack at 5 o'clock travels left and joins with the 7 o'clock crack which travels upwards as far as the top of Victoria's head, it is surprising that the die did not break. (70-100 GBP)
