Your 1797 cartwheel penny/two pence price depends on condition … £5 up what’s the other side like?

Some how a piece of cello tape has protected the face, but also left it’s mark. 😕

I am interested what the difference is between the super thick lump and the thinner one is. Both types dated 1797.

Are they both cartwheel pennies?

Can be 1847 or 1853. Check the edge. 1847 is in latin mdcccxlvii and 1853 is mdccclii.

1853 is mdcccliii right? Missed an “I”. 
 
Just reading up. Not seen my Latin numbers for years. That was cool!!  Thanks 🙏 

I can’t even see this on coin. Edge seems a little worn? 1/2 number not there. Are the edges on gothic crowns like that?

Yes, 1853 is with triple i. I can not tell you more about your coin, my knowledge about gothic crowns is very limited, I'm afraid. 😓

On yours it is written very clear mdcccxlvii (1847) on the top, after deus., on the lion's right side, but you must turn upside down the coin.

Got it! Nice one. There were only 8000 of these coins ever minted right?

According to Numista, yes. But you must go deeper and ask a specialist. I really don't know about how to determine the grade, condition...

Google cartwheel penny/ two pence, loads around and you can compare those pictures of the ones you have. They should be quite heavy. Price varies, some auction houses sell individually, sometimes in lots, very dependant on condition. Good examples fetch a bit

I've often wondered... are the bubbly bits peel-off protection covers and it's actually quite nice and smooth underneath?

Yeah it's more matt than anything. 

Think it will look even better in the bigger denominations.

2 oz. Gold Henry VII has just landed…think it will look even better as it becomes part of a set…

[dikefalos]

After 3 hours of sleep the post guy woke me up at 8 in the morning. I thought it was Henry himself, hammering my ordered coins direct on my door. So i was smiling instead of killing this guy. But it wasn't Henry, but Jody Clark's QEII 2 OZ Una and the Lion by the Commonwealth Mint. Really good job by him, wasn't expecting that i like it that much.
