Two questions:
1) Date: mdcccxlvii: 1847. Am I reading that wrong? I do not see an 1847 Gothic Florin in my Krause. Am I high?
2) In Krause, KM # 746.1 has a notation "Obv: without die number" and KM 746.2 has a notation "Obv: with die number". Where is this die number located on these coins?
I can not seem to see it. But then again I could be reading the date wrong on this as well.
And a note:
In the first "I" of the date, doesn't it look like the I may have been triple punched? Lower right part of the I is what I am referring to.
I know all of you Anglophiles have a lot more knowledge about this series than I do, so I am mining for gold here.
In the land of giant picture files.
And when I listed this I assumed it would come in somewhat more compressed, but WHAM!!!!, it did'nt. It's Super Bowl pizza sized............for TWENTY!
edited: another reason for leaving it is that it's an excellent tool when comparing a "questionable" Chinese copy.
Also, another great marker is the raised tooling mark in the "i" of Die on the obverse. I'm sure there are many others, but my dial-up hasn't finished loading yet.
Well, just Love coins, period.
I see the tooling mark on the I of "Dei". Neat!
<< <i>Mac: I feel foolish. I really do not know much about these coins and tend to confuse the series when looking at a picture without a size scale. I'm definitely a newbie at this since the most experience I have had with British material is with the 1/2d and 1d series.

Foolish? Nonsense!
All of the Victoria decimals can be hard to ID when you first look at the obverse, or even reverses alone. I think only wybrit and robp were born knowing all the combos instantly.
Keep working at it.
