Davies Large Date 1845 Crowns?

Recommended Posts

Can anybody shed any light on the Davies Large Date on 1845 Crowns? Michael on his website discusses the dates with some good images http://www.michael-coins.co.uk/CR%201845%20dates.htm but suggests that the large date seems to be the commoner type, unlike Davies.

I've been looking at a couple that I have, and they too have the large date, according to Michael's criteria. So, has Davies got this the wrong way round? How long is your date? Is there a different, even larger date that Davies is referring to? Probably not, given that the 'rarer' type only commands a 10% higher price tag. Any thoughts?

That would be a large date too, according to Michael's definition!

Incidently, superb pad you've got there, great stuff! I'll upload my own residence next time the laptop comes out!

So what does a small date look like then.

I haven't got Gouby, Nick, what does it say in there? Is it also suggesting that the large date is the rarer?

I don't have Gouby either, the letters that Declan and I quoted are from the web page that you referred to earlier.

There's an example shown on the website in coinery's original post.
