<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 151426, member: 1824&quot;]Not all of these coins are Australian.Most of these are,in fact,British.The Australian ones have a mintmark - M,P,or S located on the ground line below the horse&#039;s hoof on the St George ones,&amp; located below the shield on the Shield ones.At least one of these coins has a number.This is actually a die number that was employed as part of an experiment between 1864 &amp; 1879 to test the longevity of the dies,as the Royal Mint on Tower Hill,London was an extremely busy place working 24/7.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some collectors are actually attempting to collect by die numbers as well as by date.This is definitely the case with British 6d.s,1/-s,&amp; 2/-s.I&#039;m not sure about Sovereigns &amp; Half Sovereigns though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
