What is that coin what’s the 

scarce Marsh 118A W. W complete, no BP, short tale £395

Its a variant of the standard 1881S, its marsh reference 118A.  It is missing the BP and the WW is complete making it a scarce coin

Does this affect the price of it then in future 

I tend to assign premiums to the coins I have.  So a standard Young Head, common year I would say the premium should be 5-7%.  For scarce, or variants of commons that make them scarce I would say 7-10%.  This coin (1881S) is a scarce year already but the standard version has a buried WW and no BP.  This one has complete WW and no BP.  Both versions have a short tale.  This is already a scarce year and in a more buoyant market I would have valued this about £410-420 with spot where it is.
For Young Heads I only sell duplicates of coins I already have, but right now I only have duplicates of scarce coins and because selling is slow right now, I am asking far less than I would like.  To be honest I am amazed these have not sold as they are priced barely above common year coins in much worse condition.

It is all very subjective though and some people assign no additional premium to scarce years or variants, but anyone who is doing a date run or is a collector rather than a stacker will.  If you just want to add a young head to your collection the 1880 is almost robbery at £380, just £10 over spot

Ok I will take the 1880 

Thanks for your honesty
