My examples of the Crown are the same as in Rogers both of iron coated there are three variations ~'s 775 to 777 as there are 4 possible types in the sovereign I wonder if other varieties exists. Please look 3 Half Crown types I think I have found a third new type of Florin with differing letter sizes on the reverse and a second variation in the obverse I will take photos and list later

The Hairy Head I thought I would carry on this as there are some interesting additions both these are 12.5 mm I will just copy what I have written in my Rogers and make sense of it later ! Rogers #770 in his example the Truncation is to the centre of the W and has teeth in this one the truncation is lower on the D. Both have a flaw at the TT of BRITT and on the V of VII and the "dot" is now an earring so perhaps an addition might be to add #770 * it is hard to see in the images in Rogers perhaps his rear truncation is the same I will have to check online at the Fitzwilliam collection . Two varieties seem to exist in the Sovereign 13.5 mm : one points nose to M the other nose slightly higher towards O and a small dot (pearl) on the neck below the ear. The gaps between titles is wider (such differences are fractional) so we perhaps can assume at least 2 runs were made with alterations. Evidence of this is a wonderful little error on the "no dot" type is an N over Z in OMN. Both are brass both Beaded so are likely Rogers # 771 the reverse date is larger on the no dot type so it is likely that there is an addition to be included ~771 * N over Z N over Z pearl on neck too date types earring type

it makes collecting so much nicer when you know the personalities behind the collections. In my youth I have several good friends who were vicars who made some unique collections of minerals or fossils from the area they came from. It was I suppose the tail end of Victorian Vicars involved in the collection of natural history, they were gentlemen and took up gentleman's pursuits. I am not sure if they do these days. I am happy there are some fans of these wonderful coins sometimes the work seems magical considering the size . Finding information on the production seems almost impossible though.

I think I almost have a full set the half penny I dont think is listed I have sovereign through to half penny. I have a couple of new ones which have a new borders and a new florin variety , somehow the hairy heads looks better than the Lauer Edward VII's

You take the images into photo edit and under properties you can choose to "RESIzE" take them down to about 300 pixels per cm. Another trick is upload one then save and go back into edit and then the files will have been reduced and you can add others -
I suppose it has one advantage it saves having to watch football....but then I am a man that watches paint dry most days . I suspect someone will develop an app one day soon that counts teeth

It is so easy to lose the will to keep going when trying to understand the obverses of the 1860 penny ............

The Half Dume Rogers # 2430 again no image in Rogers
-
There is a 20 Cent Piece which is unlisted in Rogers it should sit as number 2429 which is taken by the Dime
-
The Quarter Dollar is also without an image as he had not seen one Rogers #2428
-
The Trade Dollar Rogers #2426 is a trade Dollar rather than a silver Dollar . There is no image in Rogers
-
The One Dollar : I am only adding high quality images because as good as Rogers is some of the images are pretty weak

F-10 penny Repunched R & I in Victoria?
DrLarry replied to Bronze & Copper Collector's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
I have a repunched V high in the field which might explain some of these bars across the V but down the other end -
Does anyone know the rarity of the 1854 half penny V over inverted A ?

3 Dollars : Gilt Brass 13 MM Indian Princess Head
-
Five Dollars : Brass gilt USA series 1880
-
The Ten Dollar please remember that these coins produced in Germany in 1880 by L Ch Lauer are 12 MM to 14mm and would have initially been mass produced for each country in the series . I find the quality remarkable
