[QUOTE="axtyr, post: 671455, member: 2282"] Mark, your first sentence is the correct one. There are no "b"s or "r"s in the date, it's just the way they are stamped onto the coin. The "b" you can see is a V. Look at the left hand side of the coin where it is stamped "britt", the "B" is different to the one in the date. It is just the Gothic font used on the coin. The "r"s are "x"s. They are very similar but the R is missing the bottom left hand hook as you can see in the R in VICTORIA on the left hand side of the coin. The right hand side of the coin is stamped: REG: Regina or queen F.D.: Defender of the Faith Then the date. You have stated the correct dates of 1856 and 1877. Regards Axtyr. [/QUOTE]
