zookeeperz Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 As i was browsing through the pictures of my coins I noticed this farthing which is the 3rd in the picture. There is no record of this type. I looked on Colin's site and he has a blank space for the 1881 proof reverse without a picture and it says only known for the proof reverse. Anyone know what it looks like as you can see the differences pointed out in the pics below the 3rd coin is not the same as the normal 1881 reverse? thanks Richard Quote
Mr T Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Freeman says reverse E is proof only for London minted coins - maybe that's what it refers to? Quote

Reverse E has the shield Heraldry coloured. Middle coin on the pic of three coins above is reverse E The reverse of the coin in question is almost identical to the reverse of 1879 the only differences is the helmet shape ans the plumes are arranged differently as they are on the 1878 Edited June 9, 2018 by zookeeperz Quote
