The 1890 is a known variety and in the Gouby book BP1890Aa ( Scarce) , 14 Teeth with the 90 entered lower and not in alignment.

John Jervis [later Earl St Vincent] I found this earlier today. I bought another old album at auction and removed most of the coins last night , all worn , Charles II & George I Farthings , George II and III halfpennies etc. Anyway I had a few minutes this morning - didn't read the legend, superficially the obverse looked similar to some my George II counterfeit types , but clearly it isn't "Glorious Jervis" on the Obverse with a very worn bust presumably John Jervis, and Hira Rosa. on the Reverse over a Harp. Tried to find it on Numista (along with the George III Simian above) to add to my "collection" but couldn't locate it Any thoughts ?

I have this one also - 13.5 beads and final 7 over 7:

That is amazingly helpful - I had no idea there were so many different 1877's. It is a very worn coin (so please don't laugh when you see the photo) and worn coins can be quite misleading (I have an 1875 where the "5" looks like a small 5 like a half penny - but a look under the microscope and it is just wear) . For the 1877 you can just see the top of the 2nd "7" and sadly no its lost its teeth I've just taken this photo with a iphone but if you wanted more detail (not that there is much !) I can get an image from my microscope Great to see what you think Very Best Regards Richard P.S. I did find a small date 1862 yesterday (again very worn but clearly the smaller size) I may try to go through my other 1877's today (most of which are in much better condition) and probably 1873. I've moved the 1862 into my main tray so it doesn't get lost !

A 1911 proof coin I have. In hand it looks good but the photo I took shows evidence of much cleaning. Just goes to show how you can be deceived. The coin didn't cost a lot that probably reflects its condition. Caveat Emptor.

I have this one:

It could of been anyone Bob i guess ,as far as i can see its just a date width variety and probably more collectors made aware of it with the benefit of the internet ?.

Thought i should put my example on this thread ,talking to Michael Gouby he is not sure he has owned one.
