Victoria (1837-1901), Pennies (2), both 1858, last figure of date overstruck on an uncertain rounded numeral, probably a 3 (cf. BMC 1515; S 3948) [2]. One very fine, other extremely fine and patinated (£50-100)

This lot was sold as part of a special collection, The Collection of British Coins formed by Edward Judson.

The very fine example is sold with Judson’s original ticket stating the overdate as 1858 over 2; the wording on the ticket infers that it was acquired with a certification letter to this effect from the Royal Mint [now missing]
