I was looking at the listings in the 2004 Spink guide for the 1865 shilling and noticed that it indicates medal alignment for the piece, yet the shilling that I was looking at was in coin alignment. Is the book wrong, or could there be different varieties for the alignment of these coins?

The 2005 Spink has the same ... medal alignment.

Then the coin alignment must be the million dollar rip...I had better get down there and grab it.

With few exceptions (ie errors), young head Victorian shillings are coin alignment.

You're just saying that because you don't have one.

Ok here it comes:

Dumb question #1.....

What's the difference between the two?????

Coin alignment is like all US stuff ... rotate the coin from right to left, and the reverse is upside down. Medal alignment is both sides upright when rotated left to right.

I think

Oh, OK.

Your shilling has a big hair growing straight up out of the middle-top of the queens nose...I guess that's almost as good a variety as the coin alignment type.

As you can see from the die clashing, this example is coin alignment.

Blackhawk · February 16, 2005 11:32AM

I was expecting a Harrrumphhhh. That's because my coin is the same die variety as yours, 115...we both got the rare ones. Anyone else have a 1865 shilling...it's obvious that I'm not learning anything from Wybrit.

It appears that you've been ignoring my lecture again. There's still time to withdraw from the class before you get an "F."
