I agree with you on the first coin as being a GR-801, XF GR. Rarity 3. The second one I have pegged as a GR-803, VF GR. Rarity 3. The third one as a GR-804, AU GR. Rarity 5 with a complete doubled legend and a small rose bud. And your last coin as a GR-806E, XF GR. Rarity 4 as Griffin only mentions one coin with a doubled 86. Great pictures Don thanks for sharing  |

Hi Don, glad to see you took my comments tongue-in-cheek, as they were intended... the coin photos are great!!

Don the 1861 Griffins comments; 8 and 6 wider, 6 and 1 closer. The left side of the foot of the one turns downward. The B of Britt is re-punched, slanting left. There is a die break at the R in Victoria, although this coin has the die break at the R it is very small and hard to see.
The 1864 Griffins comments; The 6 is re-punched, the 6-4 extremely wide a far 4 variety I went mainly by the picture in the book there was not much to go by with this coin.

Very nice examples above.. I'll try to get pics up of the one NS 1/2 cent that I do have. Most of my older pics are too poor for this viewing..  |
