marbury518 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 552 Posts	Posted 09/27/2013 1:15 pm The 1840 looks to have a faint and very small letter V on right hand base of ribbon. With WW on truncation. Didn't notice anything about the 1900. Edited by marbury518 09/27/2013 1:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 09/27/2013 9:06 pm I'm not sure about the 1840. Are there any stops before or after the initials? And can you count how many berries there are in the wreath? And yes, I don't think there are any varieties of the 1900 besides where it was minted (unless you have a proof).

marbury518 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 552 Posts	Posted 09/27/2013 10:27 pm There are stops to the right after both initials, so W.W. And I think I count 21 berries but standing on a chair near the light with a loupe at 3am I could be wrong lol. Report this Post to the Staff
marbury518 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 552 Posts	Posted 09/28/2013 4:32 pm So the V indicates Madras but I see between 21 and 24 berries.....mule I guess. Report this Post to the Staff
marbury518 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 552 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 12:39 am Mr T.....told coin has 28 berries, W.W. and V for Madras but this isn't in Krause. Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 04:05 am My literature makes no mention of a V on the ribbon but 28 berries is Stevens & Weir reverse 1 and W.W. is Stevens and Weir obverse A. For this die pair apparently the diameter indicates where it was struck (with Madras being 30.7mm to 30.8mm wide). Report this Post to the Staff
marbury518 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 552 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 09:46 am The V indicates Madras anyway....so maybe no Krause number... Report this Post to the Staff
