Victoria silver Penny 1d high grade bronze Sixpence 6d George V Bun Head Scarce copper 1887 Freeman lovely grade Halfpenny ¼d lustrous ½d Shilling Farthing aUNC George III 1/- Rare Gouby 4d William IV 1874 1858
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.
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.
Crisp, clear, and breathtakingly beautiful. Like a spring morning. Coins of this quality really do make life better.
Scarce. There is no trickier date than 1938 in this series.
As well as the well-known positioning of BM on the truncation, the other easy way to spot the Modified Head on 1926 silver is to look at the border teeth. Much longer on the the ME type.
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
