I am not a specialist but from what a recall there are NO general circulation coins bearing his portrait. 

The ones that exist were stolen from the Mint or passed out unauthorised. 

A brass threepence at auction if real would fetch between £15,000-£30,000

 

infact from the listing seller makes it clear it’s a copy 

The ONLY way for most of us to own one of these is with this modern copy.

Oh..a little cheeky. In the title he says "Rare"

A 1918 india sov. Will end up going to Numi and hopefully get a decent grade.

[TheGoldSovereign]

Unrecorded 1862 - A for V in VICTORIA

Quite pleased to be the first to find this error date, being such a common year with so much variety I'm quite surprised nobody else has found one and hope that means it's even more rare

edit: confirmed as a new discovery, happy days!

I got this 1873-S while ago but only just taken photos. Pity about the scratch on the neck.

...and then a couple of better photos of the 1918-C posted earlier

I have one too! Looks almost the same grade (VF), mine is die 33. So that’s your A3 obverse sorted I guess?

[MikeSol]

Some more British gold.

The Mexicans make good gold coins. I had the set of gold bullion peso's dos to centenario but have sold all but the 20 peso, its the one coin I actually keep on hand to look at. I do regret selling the Dos peso though, I don't normally like small coins but I have an attraction to that little coin that I do not understand. 

Funny you mention the dos pesos, I just got one from ebay to replace one I sold years back.  Great little coin, got it close to spot, plan to slab it to go with the other vintage Mexico gold coins I have:

Am I reading my Marsh all wrong, I thought 1874 with a die number would be B3.

Yes VF all day long this one, trying to stretch the budget as far as possible.

Obverse 1 and 2 combined with 1840's, 50's and 60's.

So one of each of the portraits and all the decades up to Jubilee except a 38/39.

Also looking out for 1891 and 1893 in EF/AUNC

Then random young heads of different years VF till the money's all gone. 

Well you did ask.

And mints?
