yes, now I think it's 5+G which makes me doubt what mine is (my picture is a blow up of a lifesize scan, so it's not clear). However I think mine is more likely to be 5+G also, as the features for Reverse E simply don't ring true.

I have the Obverse 5 1861 halfpenny (the dink in the forehead is the giveaway), but pretty sure the shield and lighthouse are different. In my database it's listed as 5+G which means yours would be 5+.E ?

The 1887 shilling is arguably the most common Victorian coin, even in high grade - the sixpence is also very common but at least you have two types to collect.

What is the American MS64 - our GVF?

No tears, but sadly the RM has already inherited their mantle.

Yes, it's a toy 3d (Victoria JH) made by Lauer one of the pre-eminent companies of such things - German?

I don't know WHAT years! Nor can I see the condition. Why don't you post pictures of YOUR coins?

Ah, I thought these were YOUR coins. Perhaps you could post pictures of your coins? In other words, the reverse (to see the condition), and the edge. For now, I stand by my opinion that the 3 coins in that picture have general wear, but the other one doesn't.

Good points, but on the other hand there are still stamp, postcard, audio cassette, model car, etc, collectors. I think there are many areas of collecting where the object itself is long out of fashion, yet the 'collecting gene' needs to be fulfilled.

I would grade as GEF with lustre. Some might say AUnc, and I wouldn't quarrel too much with that, there's virtually no trace of wear.

Hi, Welcome to the forums It would help a lot if we knew the dates of those coins. My own thoughts are 1) the "different" coin may be a high grade compared to the other 3, whose edges look pretty worn. 2) it's even possible that the different coin is a proof (is it dated 1937?), whose edges are sharp and crisp and even (I sound like good king Wenceslas ) compared to currency coins. Picture of the reverse of all 4 coins would be helpful.

So the A4 blue binder first edition (1860-1970) is not scarce or collectable?

Wow, I never knew Ever Ready made whisky! Alkaline alcohol?

That presumably couldn't be enacted via Executive Order ... for obvious reasons!

Ah, you're cultivating the orchid Fostersii Forexiae?
