Hello all , I know there is a variation with the "R over V" in the word Victoria but from the attached pictures of mine it doesn't look like a "V" under the "R".
What do you think please ?
Rotund Ron.
Verweis : "Rotund Ron"It confused me too. I couldn't see any variation - maybe the photo needs to be retaken. But does mine look like a "V" to you ?
My copy of Spink (56th Ed. 2021) lists the 'R/V' variety and I have added a year line for it. However, my copy of Collectors' Coins Great Britain (43rd Ed. 2018) lists a variety of 'R over I' and does not mention R over V. In my opinion, the R in your coin looks like it's struck over an I.
Just because you can't see it ... doesn't mean it isn't there - Anon.
