Don't think we'll figure it out from this image. Krause lists two varieties for the 1872-H (1) normal, and (2) inverted "A" for "V" in Victoria, on the reverse. If there's a crossbar in that V, you have an expensive coin. Otherwise, 1872-H is the lowest-priced date of the Victorians except for 1899 and 1900.

A specialized Canadian catalog may show other varieties.

 

in the charlton catalogue it lists four different varietys with one not known to exsist but its very complicated to figure out. i have two diff coins of this year and i know they are not the same.

 

What is the difference between your two coins?

 

heres a couple of pics of each coin side by side. the ribbon in the hair seems to have a difference and the 2 in 1872 seems different. as well the nose and lip curl

 

this site doesnt give the responses it used to a yr or so ago.. hum maybe time to move to another.. whats happening here. maybe not enough canada and newfoundland collectors any more lol

 

Unfortunately, the images aren't sharp enough to see the differences. And those of us without a Charlton's have no idea what the differences are supposed to be -- maybe the 2's in the dates, maybe the ribbons, maybe not.

 

ok you asked me doug what the difference in mine were.. so i thought you knew about that coin. but i guess i misunderstood.. well they are posted now. maybe someone with in knowledge of the varieties will have a look and enlighten us.. thanks

 

ok so who on here is a person who has knowledge of coin varieties of this type? thanks so much
