I finally broke down and joined the local coin club last night, thanks to Refrema (Bob) ... I had no idea we live in the same town. He invited me to come to the monthly meeting, and I signed up as soon as I got there. Well, Bob had asked a couple of members there to bring some British "duplicates" for the pre-meeting swap so I could look at them (THANK YOU, BOB !!!) ... I picked these up from a long-time collector. Hope you like 'em ... I sure do !!!

1900 Half Crown

1887 Half Crown

1887 Double Florin

Very nice. I'm very tempted to try the Victoria type set myself. I would like to finish my UK 20th century one first though

Along with the florin(?) in your sigline, the Jubilee part of your type set looks very promising.

Nice old head halfcrown too.

Fantastic! I am working on an 1887 date set myself

Nice that you joined a club I wish we had one around here. This place is as close to a club as I can get

Oh, I know ... I've admired that date set piece by piece as you've posted them here. As it happens, almost all of my Jubilee Head pieces are dated 1887, too
