Victoria silver Penny bronze 1d George V high grade Scarce copper lustrous Bun Head Sixpence 6d Freeman Rare Halfcrown Halfpenny 2/6 ½d aUNC 1887 Farthing Gouby lovely grade William IV UNC George VI ¼d Shilling 1926
Brilliant Uncirculated: you could be forgiven for mistaking this coin for a Proof - it has those distinctive sharp edges. It's not a Proof, but it must be a very early strike because it is absolutely gorgeous. You'd never need to upgrade.
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.
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
Good strong coin with a mature lustre, so if you don't have a high grade example yet, have a good look
Uncirculated. Beautiful example. Coins at this level really are things of beauty
Lovely mature lustre and very little wear to speak of. Top quality material I think you'll agree.
Although minted with the Colonies in mind, these did circulate in Great Britain, but not for long. Even in 1844 there wasn't much you could buy for 1/1920th of a Pound. This one has a slight titled E in REG, for those who like their microvarieties. I know I do.
A lovely example of a tiny but fascinating series. Part of another attempt at decimalisation, the denomination still exists, of course - it's the 20p! Doesn't that make you think, when a magnificent piece like this is reduced to that.
Initially recognised by Ernest Bramah, in his 1929 publication "A guide to the varieties and rarity of English regal copper coins: Charles II-Victoria, 1671-1860". Bramah catalogued the variety as No. 25c, and described it as Rare. The distinguishing features of this die are the shallow feature to the right of the join between the two loops of the 8 and the little tooth within the lower loop.
Nice strong example of what is fast becoming my favourite series. I just love the weight of 'em, and the surface texture, when they're this good.
