Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 18748 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 9:56 pm Perhaps OP is asking whether they are Victorian or Edwardian leaves. Unfortunately, I don't know how to tell the difference, or at least the differences I saw are worn away on these two fifty cent pieces. Victorian: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces315.html Edwardian: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces12257.html Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Double J Valued Member Canada 405 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 10:24 pm Yes, Hondo, thanks. That is my question. I looked it up but sometimes others have other knowledge that may not be eliminated by the wear...or at least I'm hoping. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 11:22 pm I think there's a thread on here somewhere showing the difference but I didn't dig for it. If I remember, the easiest way is the leaves next to the rim directly right of Canada. On the Victorian, two leaves makes a distinct L shape. (Correct?) Edwardian left, Victorian right. So yours are both Edwardian. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9700 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 11:52 pm The leaves at the location in the photos swoop up and are far from the rim on Edwardian, they're jagged and almost touching the denticles for Victorian.

johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1536 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 11:55 pm I just look at the rim. Very thin rim = Victorian leaves. Thicker rim (which these two are) = Edwardian leaves Report this Post to the Staff
