    Be still my heart .... a Wybrit sighting! B) Sweet TB/BB; Freeman 498, 2 + A?

    Looks like she could go MS65BN, or maybe a 65RB ..... nice and smooooooth, that one!!! I love smooth, creamy coppers!

    As Mac says, it is a Toothed Border on the obverse and a Beaded Border on the reverse. R17 (16-50 believed extant). Standard issues were either Beaded on both sides (which caused production problems) or Toothed on both sides (the norm going forward for Vicky bronze).

    Nice coin, and a genuine attribution. Progress is being made :)

    That is a stonking example of a very rare coin. Congrats 👏

    How's Chelsea doing?

    Last time I checked Chelsea was ahead of Arsenal on goal difference, though I suspect neither us are particularly pleased with our teams.
