Victoria 1897 Halfcrown Reverse A/B?

[Coinery]

I was just sifting through a box of Victorian bullion, and was wondering what you think the Davies reverse of this 1897 coin is? Comparing it to all the other worn reverse B's in the same lot, this one looks much more 'A' like? The bottom crop is a rev B from a worn '96 for comparison.

Any thoughts?

sorry, having a photobucket privacy crisis just now, will post the images asap

Reverse B. Reverse A has much longer border teeth.

For those who use photobucket...despite the fact my account and all albums are set to private, the image links when posted up here would click directly into my account/album. I had to manually remove the URL surrounding the image code to prevent that happening!

Thanks, Nick, I can see that in Davies now!

'Private' on image hosting sites means that observers who scour the 'latest postings' on the site will not see yours, and nor will they gain access to your albums without a password. However, once you use a 'sharing' URL for an image, as people do here for example, that gives people who use that forum, read-only access to the image in question. Otherwise, it's still private to the world at large.

I don't know why they've recently added that URL tag nonsense. The easiest way to add a PhotoBucket picture now is to copy the 'direct link' and use the 'Insert Image' icon.

Ah, right, thanks for that, will do that in future! There's got to be something in it for them, so wrong that it overrides your privacy settings.

It doesn't! (See my post above). There is no way to 'share' a picture without making it non-private - but it won't interfere with your Photobucket privacy except for those you've given permission to view an image via another forum.

Sorry, didn't catch your above post!

The main difference between my usual posting of pictures, and today's aborted efforts (using the same process), were that, ordinarily, you couldn't click on the image and be redirected to the contents of my private album on photobucket. Today I posted images which contained a URL allowing just that. So, I basically had to manually remove the URL extension to arrive at the images as you now see them, WITHOUT the capacity to click on them and view my private album on photobucket!

I confess to knowing very little about the whole thing, but enough to know I didn't want the whole world wading through my photographing trials and tribulations on photobucket!

Incidentally, I wonder why Davies opted to define reverse A & B with the indicators he did (letter bases), when Nick's tooth ID separates even the most worn examples in an instant?

There are a number of examples similar to this where the most obvious discriminator has been overlooked in favour of a less clear feature or pointing.

Oh I see. Either Photobucket have changed their policy - in which case, shame on them - or there are a variety of html formats presented (as in Image Shack for example) and you unwittingly picked the wrong one.

There are a selection of formats, but I definitely used the usual one, the one I've used for all my other posted images on here. Photobucket have made some massive changes recently, that don't seem to be in the best interests of the user. I had to go into my account settings, and each individual album, to double check everything was ticked private, but it made no difference, still the images clicked for a free-for-all in my account!
