They are really interesting from the historical viewpoint, as well as a nice coin type.</p><p>I have only in the last couple of years started looking closer at coin varieties and have managed to get some really nice ones for my collection. My favourites are a collection of 1887 sixpences that I have managed to get in high grades. There are six main varieties and it took some time until I finally managed to get them. The hardest to get in a decent grade was the Jubilee Head Shield type with JEB on the truncation but I have it slabbed as AU58. It has made me pay more attention to coins than ever before, and I am always on the lookout for any unusual variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
