Can anyone explain

[azda]

An 1895 Shilling, Large rose on the REV is R3 Rated by Raynor, can anyone explain why? I thought this would be a common coin, yet a 1708E* Shilling is only rated R2

After reading again, it's the 1896 Small Rose type.........Stand easy men.....

no idea tbh, not many people know about the differant rose sizes

[azda]

1895 i think the Rose size changed, so an 1896 to have a small rose instead of the larger type would have to be the wrong die used?

This isn't listed in my Rayner at all - in fact the only variety listed for that series is the 1893 small legend which is rated R. In fact, awesome though the Cope and Rayner work is, they don't do much in modern varieties at all.

they are listed in a book we all know of though

small rose is listed as more valuable for both years

the differance is minute though. from i gather is the large rose nearly touches the shields

i believe this is a small shield, the gap is larger but not by much
