The years are: 1874-H, 1879-H and 1880-H. Since I have 3, I think they must not be rare, but are these years all like that? If you have some of these years or other Victorian years would you please check them to see if they are like mine. Report this Post to the Staff

But with or without error this coins are according to catalog very pricey. Can you post pictures of your coins? It might help...

frank50 New Member Canada 32 Posts	Posted 04/09/2012 10:49 am I don't have anything to photograph coins in a decent way. If it's the norm, is there some of them with a real A? Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 04/09/2012 3:44 pm I checked all my Straits coins (20+), all of them seem to have a regular "A". Including Victoria's 5 cents, also struck at Heaton but later date than yours. Here's mine: Krause catalog doesn't mention this "A" variety business, I'll keep my eyes open for other examples.
