British type set

Suppose you were to assemble a type set of British coins from Victoria to 1967, what would you include?

Here's what I'm thinking, excluding fractions of the farthing:


Farthings:
1860-1873 young head Victoria
1874 to 1893 aged head
1895-1901 veiled head
1902-1910 Edward VII
1911-1936 George V
1937-1948 George VI with IMP
1949-1952 George VI w/o IMP
1953 - Elizabeth II type I
1954-1956 - Elizabeth II

I presume the rest of the bronze follows the same pattern.

threepence:
1838-1887 - young head Victoria
1887-1893 - jubilee head Victoria
1893-1901 - veiled bust Victoria
1902-1910 - Edward VII
1911-1926 - George V type I
1927-1936 George V type II
1937-1944 George VI (silver)
1937-1948 George VI (brass) type I
1949-1952 George VI (brass) type II
1953 Elizabeth II type I
1954-1967 Elizabeth II type II

and again, a similar pattern for the rest of the silver denominations, correct?

Basicly yes with the exception of the Shilling 1/- that was done in two versions Scottish and English from the start of EII reign there are a number of variations in the Victorian here is a good little guide to them

Start of Geo. 6th reign.

 

Also, Silver coins were standardized under the regency, so you can get shillings, crowns etc. back to geo. 3rd. As a kid, I went to Britain and I got a poster on the subject.

 

You are quite correct that should have read George VI and not Elizabeth II :bow:

 

Which reminds me...how many Edward VIII brass theepences are out there? Has anyone ever done a census? I've heard numbers ranging from 2 to 1200
