I am afraid the cost in time and verdicare would probably be more than the coin is worth , leave it how it is ......

yes that was the navy only and was used in the 1790's when there was a distinct shortage of silver in circulation trouble was the navy ended up mainly staffed by tramps and drunkards

Just as a matter of interest an ord soldiers pay was around a shilling a day which meant a days pay was four of these little coins . Few soldiers took their full pay with most signing it over to their mother to save up for them when they came home

Many old soldiers were upset by the way medals were given out for the first world war and it was quite common for the ord pvt class soldiers to put them down a grid or throw them in the rubbish as many had seen their comrades killed heads blown off, guts all over the floor etc and many more suffered from PTSD which was often punished by putting them in front of a fireing squad thus leading to more PTSD from other ord soldiers, we behave a little better now thank god. Many wanted little to do with the armed forces again and just threw themselves into family life , many never mentioned the war and just clammed up when it was mentioned. The officer class was treated a lot better

Reverse looks great but a nice obverse is what people want , I would also say £20 tops . By the way its not a 12p coin

I love the XL to the side of the bust , ironic he was a poison dwarf at about 5 foot 2

Its quite a common thing to put a mixed lot on ebay mostly rubbish with a gothic crown fake, or Edward Viii penny in a prominent position to tempt the unwary - no surprise its happening in car boots now as well . They always state "No returns"
