Debbie Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Afternoon. I have bought this 3D Victorian coin and I am trying to pin point the date as much as possible. I wondered if anyone was familiar with/could help with identifying which head it might be please - A1, A2, A3, 4 or 5? Many thanks as always. Quote

According to the types in Davies :it's definitely not Obverse 1 as the top of the ear is not visibleit's definitely not Obverse 2 as the colon after the G of DG is too far awayAs to whether it's Obverse 3 or 4, the main indicator is the pointing of the first N in Britannia [coughs politely]. However, the shape of the hair drifting down from the chignon looks like Obverse 4 not 3. If that's the case then you're looking at somewhere between 1880 and 1887. Quote
Debbie Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 Oh many thanks Peckris. I should have thought to look at Davis - I was trying to work it out from Spink and was wondering what an "aquiline nose" looked like! Quote
