I bought this a while back and it's time to let it go.
Great little model/concept penny. 1844, Victoria.
I know there are different versions of this coin but I honestly don't know for sure which one this is.
It looks to me to be BU and has GREAT color. There is a small hit on Victorias cheek that you can see in the pic.
Looking for $90 $75 obo shipped for the coin.
Money order or paypal+ 4%

Not 100% sure what these are worth in this condition
It's an absolutely gorgeous coin in hand though

The following is simply 'FYI', as I find this token somewhat interesting.
I am not a collector, but I really had no idea how many varieties of this coin were out there. I had always assumed that they were limited to centers of brass, silver or the zinc/nickel composite. But many of the more subtle ones seem to be based on the number of lines within the '1' on the reverse, as well as what letter her nose is pointing at within her name, and after 20 minutes or so of poking around, yours was the only one that I had seen that is pointing to the "R", although I have since found a just a couple more when looking specifically for that. Nevertheless, I'd say that you have a somewhat uncommon variety here. There is a listing of some other varieties here.
Good luck with your sale.

Thanks for the info and the honesty!
I did know there were quite a few varieties but honestly I didn't really bother to look too deeply into this one. I bought it because it's a gorgeous coin.
Not sure if the more uncommon variety part makes it more valuable or not
I have done a lot of research and this is in fact a rare variety
