This specimen was lot 2386 in Goldberg sale 110 (Los Angeles, June 2019), where it sold for $180. The catalog description[1] noted, "Great Britain. Shilling, 1883. Victoria. Obverse: Wyon's young head portrait of queen. Reverse: value within wreath. NGC graded MS-64." This type was struck 1879-87 as the final issue of the young head type first struck in 1838. The practice of adding die numbers was abandoned in 1879. This date is common.
