silver Victoria high grade George V 1/- Shilling 6d Sixpence Scarce bronze Penny 1d ½d Halfpenny Halfcrown copper 2/6 1887 Edward VII Rare 2/- Florin lustrous Young Head Bun Head William IV aUNC lovely grade George II variety
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
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.
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.
Common in low grades, quite rewarding in middle grades, but by the time you get to this level with these, they are serious coins. Take them seriously
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.
A few years ago I made the decision to concentrate on quality rather than quantity, and it's coins like this that make me glad I made that decision.
A very attractive little coin. Obverse 1, if you like your microvarieties. I know I do.
One of the trickier dates in the series. Not an easy coin to find this good - there is a touch of wear on the obverse, as ever, but it's a thumping example and I am very happy to display it!
