Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 10/25/2018 6:53 pm Hi all, I don't know too much about GB coins and how they are graded, so figured I would get some thoughts on the forum. Picked this up today at my lcs (was in their junk silver foreign bin). Thanks for the input! Report this Post to the Staff

Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 10/25/2018 8:58 pm Another thing I noticed is that there is a "3 over 1" dated variety. I can't find any good pictures showing the difference between the varieties though, so any thoughts on that as well would be appreciated! Thanks, Report this Post to the Staff

Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 10/26/2018 09:35 am Cool! I noticed the 859k mintage but it wasn't the lowest out of these "Young head" shillings. But haven't seen much from sale prices on ebay either (unless it is the 3/1 variety or a super nice grade). Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 10/26/2018 7:47 pm Nice find! Pre-1887 British silver in half-decent condition isn't easy. I'll say Fine - plenty of wear but still some okay detail, especially on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 10/27/2018 1:32 pm Thanks for the link! I was trying to find more info on it not too much I could find as far as sale prices. Figured I would try and tossed it on ebay and took the first offer of $310 for it. Not too shabby for a $2.50 purchase! Now it is my best lcs find to date (previous was an AG 1893 S morgan I bought at spot and sold for $90)! Report this Post to the Staff
