wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 07/03/2008 8:05 pm I was just checking out the CPNum auction. In the second session they list the 1871H Obv #2. I have checked my references and have no idea what #!@#%& they are talking about. Does anybody have this knowledge that they will impart to me? THANX in advance Report this Post to the Staff

wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 07/03/2008 8:43 pm Sorry - it would be either the 25 or 50. Report this Post to the Staff

wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 07/04/2008 08:12 am My Charlton does not mention. Can you describe the differences? Report this Post to the Staff

wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 07/05/2008 2:11 pm You are probably right in that I need a newer guide. That is my life's story - LIVING IN THE PAST! Report this Post to the Staff
chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 07/05/2008 3:38 pm On the 25 cent coin Q2 deals with the hair on the Queens portrait. It is described as ...A wave, which breaks into three, joins the brow slightly below the crown. Q1 is described as....Two waves meet slightly below the crown at top of brow The 1871H Fifty cent coin only comes in type 2...or H2 and is described as....With shamrock behind first jewel of crown. Small space between poorly formed bow and ribbon at the nape of the neck. Report this Post to the Staff
