Inverted Vs for As in GRATIA. This series is full of fascinating little varieties like this. I didn't just make this one up - it is documented in Chris Perkins' Collectors Coins GB
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.
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.
Rather a good looking coin in the hand, this one. These are significantly scarcer than their Jubilee Head siblings
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.
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.
Very attractive example of a difficult date. You might struggle to find one better.
Scarce. Start building up a good selection of these and you really feel like you're getting somewhere with coin collecting. Give it a try and see how it makes you feel - these Young Head halfcrowns are emotional coins
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.
A very attractive little coin. Obverse 1, if you like your microvarieties. I know I do.
