mrmarktigger New Member United Kingdom 31 Posts	Posted 11/25/2022 07:36 am Many thanks for the info @sel_69l I'm guessing, with the condition it's in, the grade wouldn't be very good? Report this Post to the Staff
mrmarktigger New Member United Kingdom 31 Posts	Posted 11/25/2022 12:58 pm @sel_69l or anyone else, please could you give me guidance on how I would be able to tell the difference between a long, short or medium tail? Many thanks in advance, Mark Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/25/2022 9:18 pm My reference is Coincraft's 1998 Standard Catalogue of English & UK Coins 1066 to Date I then compared the info I found there with Google Images: 1880 sovereign reverse ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As an aside, I have found that Google Images (as relating to coins) is a very much under utilized numismatic research tool as used by CCF'ers.
