I also purchased this nice 1895 Victoria "Old Head" Penny graded MS-64 Red & Brown by PCGS. The reverse looks full red to me and the obverse is mostly red. I now have a complete set of the "Old Head" Pennies from 1895-1901 in MS condition.

No. Both came from ebay on offers from the sellers.

I picked up these as starter coins, with a hope to improve as time goes by. I don't know if they are a fair price The 1887 for AUD$25 and AUD$14 for the 1931. Either way I am happy with these. Would someone care to hazard a grading on each? Cheers in advance TT 1887 Half Crown Reverse  1887 Half Crown Obverse  1931 Half Crown Both faces

ttkoo - 1887 Jubilee High VG - not bad for the price, but you find 1887 Jubilee Halfcrowns are very affordable compared to other years, my high VF one cost me just $45. Ironically of all the Jubilee Head halfcrowns 1887 to 1892, the 1887 has the lowest mintage (1.18m), yet its the cheapest one because everybody kept them as souvenirs. Hardly anyone kept an 1891 halfcrown as a souvenir  . What they should have done is kept the 1887 Young head halfcrown as a souvenir, because those are worth serious dollars now. The 1931 is very nice and toned, but some brown streaks for copper leaching - still its a high VF to low EF and a nice piece. Would love to have a party, but Victoria is a real stick in the mud and would not approve of Bertie raising a merry ruckus. He may lead his Hanoverian great uncles on! Paul - Lovely Victorian Bronze - wow, great lustre and all!
