    Not sure if you've seen the BNJ article on the Elizabeth I milled coinage in the BNJ, 1983? You can find the link on the BNS website. There are photos of all the known dies (at that time) including yours - type 23-R2. It was used only with one obverse die and clearly shows the defects you show. If you PM me I have several photos of coins using this die that I've accumulated over the years. Usually the die orientation on these milled sixpences is 180degrees (6h) but I've seen / own a few that are a little different. How large is the rotation on your piece? The weight seems a little low, but other than that I can't see anything obviously wrong with the coin - perhaps its suspect nature is more obvious in the hand?

    Rob - I'm sorry to say that I don't have an example of the coin(!) I assume that you already have the photo of L-57 from Allen's BNJ paper? Other images of the dies are: Lockett pt IV: Lot 2552 is Allen L-rev unpublished; Lot 2553 is Allen J-57 Rees-Jones (SCA 117) Lot 368 - Allen L-rev unpublished (not the Lockett coin) If you don't have these catalogues please PM me and I'll get them scanned
