specifically young and old head variety with the anno regni designation on the rim
questions: were there actually two minted for each year?
for instance 1844 VII and VIII,
are there records that designate how many of the 94000 minted in 1844,were which regnal date? I have not seen any 1844 VII
then to put a finer point on it are there records that designate how many of the 94000 minted in 1844,were which regnal date with each type of stop,star or cinquefoil
finally, has anyone else wondered about this minutia?

My understanding is that that there were two minted for each year in certain years yes.
I don't think the mint gave a break-down but I haven't seen the records - I assume they just put the total for a calendar year though.
I don't believe any records were kept with regards to varieties either.

I've never seen a catalogue that gives a breakdown of mintage figures for the different regnal years, so I don't think any records exist.

Victorian mintage figures are not always accurate, in any case, since they usually refer to the number of coins of a particular denomination minted in a calendar year, not necessarily those bearing a particular date. A classic example is the 1869 bronze penny, which is very scarce despite a recorded mintage of 2,580,480: it is thought that many of the pennies struck that year were from dies dated 1868 - that penny is much commoner than 1869 despite a much lower mintage figure of 1,182,720.

The most accurate indicator is by reference to Collectors Coins Great Britain which IMO is superior to Spink in this respect.

Thank you for the information.I find it interesting that apparently no specific records were kept.

I don't think they cared - they just needed to know how many coins were issued in a year.
