Two more from Heritage:

1855


1862 - has some problems but is a very scarce date, some would say rare, in this high grade. Interestingly, it comes after the date 1861 where it was believed that 601,920 were minted. No coins of that date have ever been found. It is now assumed that coins dated 1860 or 1862 were minted in 1861. For years, 1862 was deemed an unremarkable date in the Victorian series, being valued little more than the others. It is now one of six most sought-after dates, the others being 1848, 1854, 1863, 1878 (DRITANNIAR error) and 1893 (Jubilee Head).

Gorgeous coins, Tom. I love the toning on the 1855.

good snags... the 1855 is very attractive. I imagine the 1862 does not show up in that state too often

Those are beautiful

Is that a die crack on the '55 at 3:00 obverse?

Great coins, but I think your icon coin is to die for.

Is that 1855 Die clashed

In fact, both coins are. You can see Victoria's inverted shadow on both reverses.
