<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 7953233, member: 74282"]There are around 65 or so different victoriati identified by Crawford when you count all the varieties he gives separate entries for, and some have a few different styles represented within a single entry, like the one above. Most are pretty common but you could easily spend a lifetime hunting down some of the rarer varieties. They are a fun little series for sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as which ones to sell, I think all your examples are pretty excellent and would agree with keeping the ones marked "fine style" but not so much because they're fine style but because those two seem to be struck better than average for the type. The VB victoriati below them are excellent coins but have the usual slightly off center strike. All are pretty common types especially with the hoard on the market at the moment, but a lot of the hoard coins on the market are badly struck, particularly affecting their reverses, so the examples with really good strikes stand out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
