More cool junk

[Citizen H 21]

Redemption required, 

This (I hope) is the worse of the worse finished with, at least by todays offerings, 

the collecting? is to be honest must be the most un organised, random assembly of "why the heck did he get that!?!??!?"

entertainment ! 😁

so I think we have

1591 James VI (seen better days)

J758 George II VF

1571 Elizabeth I (knackered?)

please be gentle with me........

I forgot to mention, I did notice the tudor rose to the right of the coins with the faces dated 1591 & the 1571,  interesting (for me as just only noticed)

Hammered is not really my best subject, but the top one is Elizabeth I of England, not James VI of Scotland. Others will be better than me on the denominations.

The 1758 coin is a sixpence I believe. That and the shilling of the same date are probably the easiest of the George II silver coins to get hold of. Yours is a decent example.

 

[Coinery 1,147]

Yes, both are Elizabeth sixpences. The 1591 is mintmark Hand, and the other is mintmark Eglantine, which should date it 1573-1577. Your photos aren’t clear enough to see what’s going on with the last digit of the date, but it shouldn’t be 1571, as that would make it mintmark castle?

A clearer close up of the date and mintmark would be interesting.

edit: all three sixpences in the £15-£30 bracket

Easily identifiable Tudor coins with readable legends and dates are certainly not junk! They are pieces of history and can be fascinating to beginners.

That is to say £15-£30ish each, not all three together

Top to bottom

£28-30

£20

£15-20

And as Sword says, not junk, rather a great bit of history.

Junk is 1960's pocket change

Its a Figure of speech by me, "Cool Junk" I have many Items that I wouldn't part with and will be showing some items, 

I'm so interested in the coins that I have and how the heck was the coins trackable with so much going on? and really Many thanks for the help, 

I did get around to a close up of the 1571, hope fully this will help answer the question about the mint.

Awesome, it probably would have been boot car finds in the early 1990's, a few £ each, oh and I also picked up a Human hand for £3.20p

Many thanks Stuart. I'm keeping a label with each of them so the next family member will at least be of interest for them.

A human hand ? - bet that came in handy!

You did not make the film "Young frankenstein" did you ?
