Nice strong strike and a beautiful texture to this coin. ESC doesn't distinguish between Obv 3 and Obv 4, but Davies does, and rates Obv 4 as slightly scarcer. Scarce date in ESC regardless.
There are 3 distinct varieties of 1887 Jubilee Head shilling. Most of them are Reverse C, have small lettering on the garter, and a Q with a loop. Have a look at the Q on yours
Not always the easiest variety to spot, but the closeup I have provided displays it well. I have all sorts of fun collecting Victorian silver by Davies number. There's so much more to find than just doing straight date runs. Seven different types for 1887, for starters.
For the variety collector, 1889 is the year where doing your homework can really pay off. This coin is very interesting, numismatically - it's a mule of the earlier Rev C, introduced in 1887, and the later large head, introduced in this year, 1889. Peter Davies' 1982 publication didn't include this variety, but a list Mr Davies produced in 2013 did, and it has been given the reference D.986A
One of the better dates, and an excellent high grade
Very attractive example of a difficult date. You might struggle to find one better.
A nice lustre and barely a trace of wear. There's no better time to get stuck into Victoria - coins this good are not going to get any cheaper!
You can get quite stuck around the VF+ mark with some of the better dates in most denominations of Vicky silver. Sometimes you just need to push a little to get out of the rut, and this one will do just that

I have all sorts of fun collecting Victorian silver. Once you get above a certain grade they become real objects of beauty, and that's what it's all about.
