i,m starting with young head Vic half and pennys. I cant find online guidance as to the ALLOWED variation in weight and diameter. I,v calibrated my dig machine to 200G and cant decide on the weight whether any are fakes. Some are heavier than the listed values but how much can be allowed ???

any advice please on a monograph dealing especialy with Victorian coinage in depth ? Thanks.
-
varieties and mint operations as well as records, not interested in prices or rarities etc. thanks.

having studied lots of ebay images of young head vic halfs and pennies an amazing number seem to have been minted from cracked dies. they are all in very good grades mostly. how are they still around ? were they rejected and stored somewhere and so survive ? Did they ever reach circulation ? Any comments or other info ? Book references ? Thanks.

novice seeking advice, again! have bought at seperate times and from different sources recently 2 young vic head halfpennies of 1841. on examining with X10 loop each has an identical crack across the obverse froom E in DEI across head bands and ending just left of the 1 in date. The match is almost exact. it does not appear on side of rim nor on reverse. Explanations ??? if any.

thanks for responses, but if the die is cracked the impression should be raised ??

thanks to all, but NORDLE11 has got a real handle on my problem and in fact his argument can be applied to any assessment situation.

thanks to all for responses. I,ll try to make myself clearer. Suppose I have 10 young head vic pennies of the same date and considered to be uncirculated and genuine. How likely is it that I will find ALL to be exactly 18.8G. If not what would be an acceptable "drift" before suspicions are aroused, ?1 decimal point or a fraction of 2 decimal points. I note the advice to use my eyes first but that could take years !!
