Here are the pictures (reduced in size) of the 1893 Jubilee head sixpence from VS.

In that light...

Welcome to our world! One point I would make, if it hasn't been made above, is that occasionally you will have a coin that is way more 'pleasing' than it's actual grade would suggest. Keep it, even if you get a very high grade as a replacement. Make sure you get pleasure from this...not just a kick out of finishing date runs etc. After all, some coins are genuinely miniature works of art.

This is one of mine:

Maybe 12 years or so; thankfully much better in hand with those lines that are die prep.

Thank you all for your suggestions chaps! I've gone and got the 1936 and the 1902, thanks for suggesting those @Peckris 2 - might as well treat myself I've also bid on the 1887 @UPINSMOKE, good find @Sword Here's my old head shilling - apparently (again according to dealer) UNC, but let's see what you gents think (I should add that the dealer's photographs look much nicer than mine - bit of camera trickery or just a better camera...who knows 🤷‍♂️)

It is most laughable in the 'Paul Is Dead' conspiracy theory. The theory goes that Paul had his "fatal car crash" ("he blew his mind out in a car..." ) on 9th November 66 after a row with the other 3 in the recording studio. If you hold a mirror (no really!) across the drum on the cover of Sgt Pepper's you get " I ONE IX ^ HE DIE ", the first part translating to the date. Sadly for these loonies, the British date translates to 11th September.

Actually it has caused confusion and irritation before on many occasions, to both sides. In any dealings with Americans or American companies it's always best to write the day and the actual month in, like "14th March 2021", so it can't be misread, and to confirm any dates with them using the month. So if they put 10.2.21, that they meant October 2nd 2021. As in "thanks for your invitation to xxxxxx set for October 2nd 2021".

definitely annoys me too, if you want to lose it though go to spink and try search for something, if you still have the stomach after that go to baldwins. Heritage has to be the best, at times even things miss-spelled come up, and the heritage coins come up in google image search which speeds up the process of finding the price of something Side note, the worst coin to find online sales history of is the 1 1/2 pence, there are so many different variations of what it can be called.....

It's ok. I did it the hard way. Started with Krause 1601-1700 and moved forward in time, looking at all countries using squiggly writing. Still, could have been worse - 20th century instead of the 19th.
