Sleepy Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Hi Guy, Sorry I can't help you on your search for double florins, I have a single 1890 variant and a standard one and a pretty poor quality one at that, however it's one of my first coins so pretty attached to it. However curious about JEB, am I missing something as it's not an inscription I am familiar with, or am I being a dump ass as usual? Phill Quote

JEB are the initials of the designer of the Jubilee coinage portrait, Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm. The initials appear on the truncation of Victoria's neck. Quote
Sleepy Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 LOL dump ass as usual, my df is so bad I can only now just make out the JEB, had to look at a nicer crown to see a decent example. Quote

What condition did you want or roughly how much do you want to spend? There is of course the 2+A proof as well as the 2+B, 2+Bclose 7 and the 1+A proofs The 2+B is most common. Quote
