Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 15747 Posts	Posted 02/10/2024 6:00 pm Excellent cartwheel, Dearborn! Often these have many rim dings and bruises because dropping them on cobblestones really leaves a mark. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 64156 Posts	Posted 02/10/2024 6:36 pm Thanks Jbuck and Hondo - I agree that for its age, it is in very nice condition. (wait until I post us the other 20 UK coins I'm finally going through) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 930 Posts	Posted 02/11/2024 04:55 am Very nice cartwheel penny! I hope the others you post are as interesting. If you are interested, yours is the 10 leaf variety. There are also as many as 50 different varieties of the ship on this date! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 64156 Posts	Posted 02/11/2024 07:34 am Thanks Paddy for that leaf count variety. But just to clarify, you are counting the leaves on the branch that Britannia is holding correct? (I have so much to learn on old UK coins) Collecting since 1972.

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 930 Posts	Posted 02/11/2024 08:43 am No - the count is the number of leaves in the wreath on George's head. There are just two varieties - 10 and 11. The 11th leaf appears behind the two lowest leaves. However, there is a much easier way to tell: The the tip of the ribbon behind George's head points down on the 10 leaf and to the left on the 11 leaf.
