This is the "higher tide" variety for 1897 (the 7 in the date points to a bead).
This is variety 2 + B - the most commonly found variety, but not found in the "plastic sets." Obverse 2: cross points between two beads. Reverse B: "F" in "Farthing" points to a bead.
BTW the 1902 1/2 penny is the high tide variety. I don't follow Krause numbers, but I think that number is right.
Thank you! I have noticed the varieties in Krause but there are not explanations for them (and I haven't searched other resources yet), I figured mine were probably the normal varieties, but I definitely appreciate the input!

Edward VII and Alexandra as Queen Consort, 1902 silver coronation medal, engraved by G. W. De Saulles The coronation was originally scheduled for an earlier date, but Edward had to undergo an emergency appendectomy operation, so the coronation was postponed until this later date.

awesome! i love these '02 Coronation medals.
I'll see your silver corontation medal, and raise you two!
this one, a wonderful gift from my buddy Terry, is now slabbed and well protected in an NGC MS62 holder
this second one is raw, but the bluish toning is cool!

Thanks, I've had it since about 2003. Originally, my intent was to collect gem tanners by all types from Charles II to QV, but 10 different types of Wm. III, and eight different types from Geo. II alone made me reconsider. So did the feasibility and $$$$$.

I was expecting a date set...
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Took a chance (will I ever learn?) on another ebay auction with a bad picture and this is what I received:
It's one of the key dates and is quite an upgrade on my old piece. This one more than makes up for the disappointment of the other transaction (with another seller). It looks better in hand.
I have been confirmed as the winner of this token from this week's Baldwin's sale.
Catalogued as Middlesex Political & Social Series DH #226. It is an election token for Admiral Gardner in his bid for a seat as a Member of Parliament from Westminster. Admiral Gardner was, obviously, a royalist loyal to the crown and a support of PM William Pitt. His opposition were Charles Fox - the long time crown opponent in parliment, supporter of the French and US revolutions, and the leader of the loyal opposition in Parliment and Horne Tooke, a minister and another well-known crown opponent. The reverse shows a fox balancing on blocks representing some of the radical clubs of the day with a clergyman propping up the structure with a block labeled Sedition.
Pit, Fox, Horne Tooke and Admiral Gardner are all represented on various Conder tokens. There was, of course, a famous ship named after Admiral Gardner, famous for its wreck and the coins that have been salvedged from it.

Really quite beautiful. The Truview pictures really make a big difference when presenting copper. Makes collecting that much more fun when you have pics like that!
canadacolornut - You are correct on both points. PCGS allows images with a maximum size of 50KB to be uploaded to their site. Also, many of the pictures posted in this thread are larger than 50KB in size.
The pictures that are larger than 50KB in size have been uploaded to other sites. Many of the posters here have their own space on the web for storing pictures and many ISP companies offer their customers space to upload pictures for posting. Others, such as rwyarmch above your post use various free picture hosting web sites, such as Photobucket, to host their pictures. PCGS message board software allows us to link to photos loaded on other sites while posting a message using the "image" button located between the B I U buttons and the http button.
I hope this helps.

Here's my Amon Carter penny which I mentioned in another thread this week.
Here's another 1853/2 farthing..........yeah, I have two........My name is Mac, and I'm OCD.
This would buy a small loaf of bread for your empty belly in 1862.........but, it was never spent.

But naturally-for me at least-I've got a question already.
I just tried to upload a file and it was deleted because it "exceeded the 50 KB" maximum upload size.
That's kind of interesting because I would think some of the large, beautiful photos I see posted here regularly would be well over that maximum.
Any help understanding, and adjusting for, this would be appreciated.
Thanks
It's just that I got my PCGS grades.
