Victoria silver bronze high grade Penny 1d George V copper Halfpenny Scarce ½d Bun Head Sixpence 6d Freeman ¼d lustrous Farthing Rare 2/6 William IV Halfcrown aUNC Gouby Shilling lovely grade 1902 1887 George VI 1/-
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
I spent a good ten minutes exploring this one with a loupe, trying to find some evidence of wear, but I really struggled. Each leaf vein is still sharp, the hairlines go right to the end of each curl, but it does have slight discolouration that, if anything, the photo exaggerates.
It's starting to tone a little, although the photo hasn't quite captured the toning. The photo has captured the quality though.
Nice strong strike and extremely well preserved. Doesn't the Victorian series seem vast sometimes? Scarce date, by the way...
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.
Obverse 1 with close colons. ...close colons are slightly tilted.
The key date of the series and quite a lot better than most you'll see.
High grade example of the Rare West Indian series. Actually minted in smaller numbers than the better-known 1944.
