Sixpences are somewhat scarcer than the equivalent Shillings from the 1787 issue. It turns out that the missing hearts are an accidental omission, rather than a designed omission. 40 years collecting and I'm still learning new things :)
Although 1887 is the commonest date of the Victoria shillings, there are, of course, three types. And not all of them are common.
Beautiful example with an exquisite lustre. You can't go wrong with top grade Bun Pennies. Peck: Scarce, Freeman: R5
This series starts to get very interesting the further into Victoria you go.
I am really enjoying exploring Early Milled. When I think of how long I put it off for... Don't make the same mistake as me - get stuck in!
Although listed in Peck and in Bramah, the Ornamental trident variety with the close colon has, inexplicably, never been listed in Spink.
Hastily withdrawn and replaced with the Wreath Reverse, as, after a quick gild, these were being passed off as half-sovereigns.
Fascinating story to these: Specially designed for the collection plates of West Indian churches, into which god-fearing folk considered it terrifically bad form to put copper coinage. Being a quarter of a Spanish real, it became known as the Christian Quattie.
Lovely grade Edwardian penny with a mature lustre. Makes it all worthwhile.
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.
