Cinquefoil stop

[scotsman 2]

Hi bought this 1884 Victoria young head crown arrived today never noticed the star in original Ebay listing, with a little research I see it's called a Cinquefoil stop & there is also star stops that look similar to an asterisk, some sites I've been in don't seem to agree in which is more sought after any help would be greatly appreciated

I believe cinquefoil is scarcer, certainly of higher value like-for-like. Spink have it valued at roughly twice the star stops variety, while CCGB has it just ahead in VF and up

Thanks for the reply Paulus appreciated

Should read 1844 not 1884
