It is hard and takes time to compile a list of threepences when you have to flick through Groom, Gouby, Rayner and Davies! It is exhausting and very annoying if you miss a variety. To add, if you are a new collector it can be a bit difficult and over-whelming to know where to start so a nice easy list is needed - I could have done with it when I started. And it could serve the needs of more accomplished collectors who may have missed a variety (please don't take that as an insult, I know you worked very hard for your collection !!!) So here they are all in one place for your convenience. I have added in some varieties which are near impossible/only a millionaire will get them, for some fun, of course these are not needed for a complete collection but just of interest, I am sure you can tell which they are. 1834, D of D:G to gap, small head 1834, D of D:G to bead, large head 1835, D of D:G to gap, small head 1835, D of D:G to bead, large head 1836, D of D:G to gap, small head 1836, D of D:G to bead, large head 1837, D of D:G to gap, small head 1837, D of D:G to bead, large head 1837, stop at the left of the foot of 7 1838 1839 1840, 40 level 1840, low 40 1840, 0/0 1841 1842 1843, small 43 1843, large 43 1844, small 44 1844, large 44 1845, small 45 1845, large 45 1846 (varieties, but difficult date so I can't be bothered!) 1847 (varieties, but difficult date so I can't be bothered!) 1848 1849 (varieties, but difficult date so I can't be bothered!) 1850, full hair 1850, a die fill is recorded on this date leading to the following that I have seen (1) missing hair by bun. (2) missing hair by bun and O of VICTORIA incomplete. So what is next on this die fill, is there one with the O missing or part of the R or T missing - do you have one? I would love to see it 1851 (varieties, but hard date so I can't be bothered! However there is the rare 1551 instead of 1851 threepence!!!!) 1852(varieties, but hard date so I can't be bothered!) 1853 (varieties, but hard date so I can't be bothered!) 1854, 54 below 18 1854, 54 level with 18 1855, curved top bar of 5 1855, flat top bar of 5 1856 1857, C of VICT plain 1857, C of VICT with serif, I/I in VICT 1857, C of VICT with serif, bottom left foot of I missing 1857, date varieties but I think collecting the above is enough 1858, C of VICT with serif, G with short crossbar 1858, C of VICT with serif, G with long crossbar 1858, 8/6 1858, BRITANNIAB 1859, C of VICT with serif, G with short crossbar 1859, C of VICT with serif, G with long crossbar 1859, C of VICT plain, G with short crossbar 1859, C of VICT plain, G with short crossbar, I/I of VICT 1859, 9/8 1860, plain C of VICT 1860, C of VICT with serif 1861, plain C of VICT, small gap between 61 1861, plain C of VICT, medium gap between 61 1861, plain C of VICT, wide gap between 61 1861, C of VICT with serif, small gap between 61 1861, C of VICT with serif, medium gap between 61 1861, C of VICT with serif, wide gap between 61 1861, D/B in D:G 1862 1862, BRITANNIAH, one sold at London Coins in 2016 for £280! 1863 1864 1864, tall 4 1865, flat 5, thin top bar, belly of 5 open 1865, flat top bar of 5, small gap between top bar and belly of 5 due to the top-bar being concave, closed belly of 5 1865, top bar of 5 gradually pointing upwards, like in italic typeface 1866 1867, I of VICT to gap, bump under top bar of 3 (very small, need a loupe to see it) 1867, I of VICT to tooth, bump under top bar of 3 (very small, need a loupe to see it) 1867, I of VICT to tooth, no bump under top bar of 3 1868, I of VICT to gap 1868, I of VICT to tooth 1868, RRITANNIAR 1869 is maundy only, I believe so not on a list normally 1870 1871 1872 1873 1874, 4 has t-bar tail 1874, 4 has tail that curves upwards 1875 1876 1877 1878 1879 1879, heavily re-engraved hair, to be honest I do not get this one - you need a good example to be aware what variety it is - best to look at some pictures, any description I put here would not suffice and perhaps you may be even more confused (1873-1879 has varieties with concerning the nose, I can't be bothered with that here) 1880 1881 1882 1883 1884 1885 1886 1887 Young Head 1887J, cross on crown has 3 dots around it, BRITT: 1887J, cross on crown has 2 lines and one dot around it, BRITT: 1887, cross on crown has 2 lines and one dot around it, weak top colon of BRITT: 1887, nothing around cross of crown, BRITT: 1887, weak lines around cross of crown, BRITT. 1887, nothing around cross of crown, BRITT. 1888, three dots around cross 1888, 2 lines and dot around cross 1889, 3 dots around cross, cross on reverse has an engraved border, I of BRITT to bead 1889, 2 lines and dot around cross, cross on reverse is plain 1889, 2 lines and dot around cross, cross on reverse has engraved border 1889, 3 dots around cross, cross on reverse has an engraved border, I of BRITT to gap 1890, cross is plain on reverse 1890, cross on reverse has an engraved border 1891 1892 1893J 1893V, I of REGINA to gap 1893V, I of RENGINA to tooth 1894V, I of REGINA to gap 1894V, I of RENGINA to tooth 1895 1896 1897 1898 1899 1900 1901 1902 1903 1904, I of IMP to tooth, 3 close to ribbon 1904, I of IMP to gap, 3 close to ribbon 1904, I of IMP to tooth, 3 far from ribbon 1904, I of IMP to gap, 3 far from ribbon 1905, I of IMP to tooth 1905, I of IMP to gap 1906, I of IMP to tooth 1906, I of IMP to gap 1907 1908 1909 1910 1911, I of BRITT to tooth, straight stalk 1911, I of BRITT to tooth, kinked stalk 1911, I of BRITT to gap, straight stalk 1911, I of BRITT to gap, kinked stalk 1912 1913 1914, P of IMP to bead 1914, P of IMP to space 1915 1916 1917 1918 1918, cud in where the two o's of the 8 meet on the right hand side, this is what Davies was alluding to when he wrote 8/9 in his reference guide! Not really a variety, but put it in anyway 1919 1920 (in 92.5% and 50%, basically impossible to tell apart unless you go to your nearest university and ask them very kindly if you could use one of their machines, not quiet sure what it is called, to check the metal content) 1921 1922 1922, second leaf up on right hand side has a stalk going out touching the rim. This is a cud but for 'completeness' have added it in. I have only seen one in about two months of looking and bought it (lucky me), have looked for a further couple of months and have not seen any. So very rare - a good one to hunt if you have finished your collection! 1925 1926, NE, I of IVS to bead 1926, ME, I of IVS to space 1928 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934 1935, legend close to teeth 1935, legend further from teeth 1936 1937S 1937B, small gap above REE, B of BR to corner 1937B, small gap above REE, B of BR right of corner 1937B, large gap above REE, B of BR to corner 1937B, large gap above REE, B of BR right of corner 1938S 1938B 1939S 1939B 1940S 1940B 1941S 1941B 1941B, 194L, most likely a cud - if you have one show us a picture! 1942S 1942B 1943S 1943B 1944S 1944B 1945B 1946 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953, shallow 1953, high relief 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967
