Penny 1863 Die Number 2, Freeman 45, dies 6+G (Rarity 19), Gouby BP1863C, Satin 47, Fine or slightly better for wear, the reverse with a long depression from Britannia to the rim at o'clock. This is only the second example we have offered. As a relative guide to rarity, in the past we have offered one Die Number 3, five Die Number 4 Pennies and six 1877 narrow dates the last of which realised £5500. We also note the Laurie Bamford example of this die number 2 described as VF sold for a hefty £4000 way back in 2006 since when many coin prices have risen by multiples. There was no example of this type in the Workman 1, Workman 2, Alderley, Crocker or Roland Harris Collections
Estimate: 3000-5000 GBP
