Victoria silver high grade George V Penny bronze 1d Scarce Shilling 1/- Florin ¼d aUNC 2/- Farthing lustrous Bun Head 1887 variety Davies copper Young Head 2/6 strong strike lovely grade Elizabeth II George VI Sixpence Halfcrown 1916
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.
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.
How often do you get to see the dots between B and M on the truncation? Compare this with yours - 1920 halfcrowns are not easy, with a slightly dodgy alloy and often weakly struck. Obv 1, Rev A. Scarce
A very difficult to find Obverse 3 example of the 1875 sixpence. The vast majority of 1875 sixpences are Obverse 4.
Narrow rim low relief larger bust hollow neck Know your varieties yet? If not, why not? There's 5 of them for 1921 shillings...
Although 1887 is the commonest date of the Victoria shillings, there are, of course, three types. And not all of them are common.
What struck me about this coin was the hair and beard detail. You just don't see that much of it in coins of this era. Even in higher grade examples.
Identifying the various Victoria Young Head obverses is tricky stuff, I'll admit, but I'm certain this is the Younger Davies Obv 5, Spink Third Head A6. It's much scarcer than Davies 908. Nice clear die clash on the reverse and some shallow marks on the obverse, but an extremely respectable grade.
There's something about big silver from this era. It seems to mean business. Nice grade, too.
Look how sharp the feathers on the wings of the harp are, and the lions faces. Compare it with yours...
