This is an extremely difficult Davies number to find in any grade, but in a gorgeous aUNC like this, it's extremely rare. The vast majority of No Die number 1879s are Reverse D. This one is Reverse C - there are some subtle differences in the wreath, but the giveaway is the wider date, 11 beads, rather than the 10 found on Rev D. Rare date in ESC regardless.
A high level of detail and a very pleasant lustre. Nice.
Not always the easiest variety to spot, but you can see it clearly in the hand. 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. I don't think you'll find one better
aUNC. You often see this streaky lustre in the bronze coinage of the early twentieth century, but it's quite unusual to find one this early. I quite like it.
Before you get too excited, I ought to point out that the Low Tide 1897 is the commoner of the two varieties.There are enough unidentified examples of the scarcer High Tides out there to make them worth checking for though.
Like a fool, I started this series filling dates, so it took me about half a dozen upgrades to get them this far. Should have gone straight in at this level, really. No reason not to.
In my experience, high grade halfpennies are harder to come by than pennies from this era. More difficult than most other denominations, I'd say.
One of the more difficult dates to find in this high a grade. Lovely lovely.
So many EF examples to be found in this series. Not too many higher than that though. Buy the best you can find.
Scarce. There is no trickier date than 1938 in this series.
