COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 8-Doubles (2), 1893H, first with slightly more robust lettering and date, second one with smaller, finer lettering and date (Pr 21; S 7206; KM 7). Extremely fine, the first with some mint red, second has been cleaned, traces of verdigris on the edge. (2)
There is no hint on the larger letter piece that the same die was used and just repunched the letters, so there are two dies minimum for this issue. If you have only one of these coins to look at and wonder which variety you have, the centre of the 8 in the date doesn't touch on the small letters variety, while it touches on the large letters one.
Estimate: £50-80
