declanwmagee Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 The book you need for them is called British Silver Coins since 1816, by Peter Davies, and I believe one of our regulars here has a stock of them... Quote

Peckris Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 If you have another OH shilling it's easy to tell as the small lettering only occurs in 1893. The difference isn't dramatic but obvious enough when you see the two side by side. Quote

The difference isn't dramatic but obvious enough when you see the two side by side.The small lettering occurs on some 1894s also, but are very scarce. Davies 1013 1894 obv 1 rev B Quote
