Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1887 Morgan is a high mintage common date, retail values are $30.00-$39.00 depending on the grade of the coin.

No, L.S. Lowry was not Victorian. He was born in 1887 and lived during the late 19th and 20th centuries, which is beyond the Victorian era (1837-1901). He is known for his industrial landscapes and scenes of working-class life in England.
'A Christmas Carol' was first published in 1843. Shillings were used from Henry VII's reign in 1485 until 1971, so they would have been used. The Victoria sixpence (the sixpence featuring the young Queen Victoria's head) was used 1838 to 1887. Hope this helps.
If it says "honi soit qui mal y pense" it is a British coin. If it is an 1887 coin, it will be a sterling silver Halfcrown, Shilling or Sixpence with the words in a garter surrounding a Crowned shield. The obverse will depict the Jubilee bust of Queen Victoria wearing a crown. The Halfcrown will be 32 mm in diameter. The Shilling will be 23.5 mm in diameter. The Sixpence will be 19 mm in diameter. There were no Victorian gold coins issued with that inscription. The only gold coins within 100 years of 1887 to have that inscription would have been George III Guineas, Half-Guineas and the earliest issue of Sovereigns from 1817 to 1820.

The absolute lowest mintage for any year and mint mark is 1853-O. Only 3 are known. The lowest overall mintages for a given year would be combined production for 1796 and 1797, when a total of 3918 halves were struck. Mint records don't break the figures by year, though. Other low-mintage years include 1882 and 1884-1887, with 5000 or fewer coins struck each year.
It was the practice for coins to be minted with obverse and reverse 180 degrees out of alignment during Queen Victoria's time and earlier, although not all coins were minted that way. The practice seems to have gradually died out during the 19th century and ceased altogether in 1887. All Queen Victoria Pennies, Halfpennies and Farthings were minted with both sides aligned normally. The last Queen Victoria coins to be minted with obverse and reverse 180 degrees out of alignment were - Three-Halfpence - 1862 Twopence - 1848 Threepence - 1887 Sixpence - 1887 Shilling - 1887 Florin (Two Shillings) - 1887 Halfcrown - 1887 Crown (Five Shillings) - 1847 Half-Sovereign - 1887 Sovereign - 1887
Victorian coins from the period 1887 to 1893 are near identical for each denomination. What you need is to be able to identify and describe the coin in a manner that distinguishes it from other similar coins. Gold coins Five Pound (Quintuple Sovereign) - St. George and the dragon on reverse - issued in 1887 only. Two Pound (Double Sovereign) - St. George and the dragon on reverse - 28.4 mm in diameter - issued in 1887 only. Sovereign - St. George and the dragon on reverse - 22.05 mm in diameter. Some earlier 1887 Sovereigns may depict a Crowned shield reverse. Half-Sovereign - Crowned shield on reverse - 19.3 mm in diameter. Silver coins Crown - St. George and the dragon on reverse - 38.6 mm in diameter. Double Florin (Four Shillings) - Cruciform shields and sceptres on reverse - 36 mm in diameter. Halfcrown (Two Shillings and Sixpence) - Crowned shield in garter on reverse - 32 mm in diameter. Florin (Two Shillings) - Cruciform shields and sceptres on reverse - 29.5 mm in diameter. Shilling - Crowned shield in garter on reverse - 23.5 mm in diameter. Some earlier 1887 Shillings may depict a Crowned "ONE SHILLING" in a wreath. Sixpence - Crowned "SIXPENCE" in wreath on reverse - 19 mm in diameter. Groat (Fourpence) - Britannia on reverse - 16 mm in diameter. Threepence - Crowned "3" in wreath on reverse - 16 mm in diameter. Bronze coins Penny - Britannia on reverse - 30.81 mm in diameter Halfpenny - Britannia on reverse - 26 mm in diameter Farthing - Britannia on reverse - 20 mm in diameter Third-Farthing - Crowned date and value on reverse - 15.5 mm in diameter
No, Victorian women did not wear fascinators. They wore bonnets or elaborate hats, depending on the particular period (early or late Victorian age).Please see the picture linked below for an illustration of the evolution of Victorian fashion: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/29/1794-1887-Fashion-overview-Alfred-Roller.GIF

Mintage figures from this period were not very meticulous. Only a total number of coins including both the "Shield" and "St. George" varieties is known. The combined mintage of both types from the Melbourne Mint is 3,052,000 coins. This seems to be the case for all Sovereign coins minted at the Melbourne and Sydney Mints until 1887(?).
