1888 British groat. This was the only Jubilee Head groat and was issued for use in British Guiana where it was equivalent to a quarter of a guilder.

some interesting coins being posted already. I really need to dig through my coins and get more pictures. I think I may have some coins like these, but have forgotten about them. Good to learn some too .. did not know those 5 cent Hong Kong coins had silver in them, I wonder how many of them I have passed over. I also might have one of those Ecuador silver coins, if I don't I need to get one ..

Quote: I really do enjoy seeing what gold coin your going to post everyday. Thanks. The gold coins will soon run out, starting in the 1870s to 1850s, although there will be a few until 1835 or so. I'll have to post silver or copper coins then, but these too will get scarce before 1800.

For many of us .. average collectors .. me included. The number and grades of coins will drop off, after about 1878.
At least that is my guess.
I hope to have every year at least until 1857. But like mentioned .. the quality will not be as high as I would like. ..

A very, very tough coin to find above EF grade. This one is PCGS AU-53 (ex-Turner) and only 7 coins have been graded higher by PCGS for this year.
