NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17926 Posts	Posted 01/04/2020 04:25 am This is one of those coins that is more often found in EF or better, as it was withdrawn from circulation soon after issue. The reverse design didn't show the value, and many people gilded the sixpence and passed them off as half-sovereigns (just like the 1883 'no cents' nickel)!

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/04/2020 06:13 am NumisRob has said it exactly right. A lot of British people were tempted to hoard a few coins of the 1887 date, because that was the Jubilee Year of queen Victoria's reign, and so coins of this date tend to be found in higher than average condition for this reign.

Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 02/26/2020 6:59 pm Cleaned, weak strike on Obverse - EF, a lot more wear than noticeable. British grading is more harsh that US grading, our EF is their AU, our VF is their XF. Report this Post to the Staff
