yes do you know when I first saw it for sale I was looking at that for about 5 minutes thinking what's wrong with that and my mind just would not calculate ....when you know something is wrong and your mind alters it LOL

lol

although admittedly the portrait does tend to make her more like a VICTOR than a VICTORIA I am not sure yet if the last letters are almost missing or it is just the photo LOL

yeah I thought you might like to look at it. As you say very crude I would say a poor replica of the Prince of Wales type but I have not seen one with the gartered crest. These ones were made by John Cooke and Son although sometimes Mr Rogers places things under a title and here they are placed alongside some of the Hanovers and Jacks used for playing card . There is no mention in any of the entries for this one

Here is an interesting one I found the other day , a strange odd looking attempt to replicate the model half sovereign. I purchased it but it has not arrived yet so cannot look at in in detail

Oh wait I seem to recall references on the model coin section of Rogers referring to him

Who was David Magnay? obviously a collector I can tell that .... was he ever on the forum? I am certain there are many things I do not know about collecting from the past I am a recent arrival. I wonder what happens with these bigger collections someone must still have parts of them. I suspect that is why it is easier to donate them to Museums as Mr Rogers did

yes indeed a softish one LOL

1822 farthings and an Inverted A
DrLarry replied to Kipster's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
that sounds a better idea than the A for a U -
1822 farthings and an Inverted A
DrLarry replied to Kipster's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
yes I imagine it can only be on the U that the inversion might have occurred there is nothing much else in this series legend it could be. There seem to be a few errors in this series unless the engraver was making a statement on the the king GEORGI ASs satirical humour in this era was well established, not the greatest respected 19th C kings -
I cannot imagine these little boxes were much loved by either adult or child they are almost impossible to open once closed ...the frustration at receiving one on christmas day and trying one's best to get into the little bugger must have led to many being left in wasteland of forgotten toys

I purchased the other day a second shilling Box similar to the one I showed earlier but there are a number of differences in the design Victorias head is slightly larger and the nose point directly to the R of VICTORIA and the date is positioned further to the right and the hair curl behind the head is longer . The reverse is also different the lettering being different. So it would seem that there are two issues or one issue with two separate dies presumably cut slightly differently by engravers. However there is also a big difference in the weight the previous one is a gram heavier. I have however not been able to open the first and it may contain miniature tokens. the new one contained Moore's Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and Prince alfred corresponding to Rogers # 's 4060 and 4061 Let me know anyone if you have one of these shilling Boxes.

I often wonder if engravers at minting houses sometimes make these secretive marks just for the fun of it, no one would ever really notice if an engraver added a flick here or there. They would know and might point it out now and again. Alternatively they might have just slipped and then hoped no one would notice 😊

I am beginning to think the signed Lauer variety is less common than the un Lauer

welcome ....be careful with those rabbit holes

so it would seem then at least 4 issues as said in 1894 and 1895 then in 1900 and in 1907 the later two seem less well executed than the 19th C sets Many thanks We are numismatic collectors.
