The 1880m on your wanted list is an expensive coin. Those who have them in decent condition tend to send them off for grading. Marsh rates this as R2 and value £4000. I can probably get you one graded as AU53 for about £1950

1883M even rarer, less than 500k minted

Incredible with less then 500k Rated R2 but only valued by Marsh as £650, something must be wrong there.

These are examples of coins whose rarity rating (in Marsh) has increased since the first edition in 1980.  

I found a 1883 M easier to find than the 1880 M.

I would not pay too much attention to either rarity scores or values in Marsh,

For example the 1873M G&D is rated scarce with a mintage of 752k yet the 1881M shield is rated rare with a mintage of 2.3m 🤷‍♂️

Maybe some coins have higher mintage figures, but maybe somewhere there is a record to prove many of these coins have been melted and so they become rare. Can only go by what any particular year sells for and how many you can find online for sale.

If they have done that it is inconsistently, you only have to look at the Canada mint George V ratings to see that.
They were only minted in the tens or in a couple of cases the hundreds of thousands, its also a well documented fact many were melted down to pay war debts, yet in Marsh they still rate as C, or in some cases C2 and even a C3! (bar a couple of years)

Quality listing @Orpster set out like a pro!

there’s been so many great deals recently so I am all out of pocket money 😂 … otherwise I would have loved some of these..

That 1857 is tempting, can you give me a top-down high-res of the 1857 reverse please, if possible? I want to see how bad the nick is at top-top-left.

Best I can do in this light:

 

Its the top right in these pictures:

 

The bottom one of the three is also available but its had a slight polish at some point, so I would only be looking for £430 +post
