1896 Victoria Crown

Has anyone else noticed that there are two varieties of this coin ?

One (the scarcer one) has the 9 and 6 separated by a larger space than the other one. Not sure if this affects values.

There are two well known varieties, Spink 3938 and 3938A. Not sure if you are referring to these. The easiet way to recognise the scarcer one is the longer border teeth on the reverse.

Spink 3938 refers to Half Crowns and not to Crowns (unless I'm mistaken). Crowns are 3937 so don't seem to be recognised as having varieties.

Ah yes. It would have helped if I had read the question properly.

Just had a look at the pictures I have of 1896 crowns and the LIX has a narrow gap and the LX has a wider gap.
