It just to show you.....it wasn't been until I photo the coin and enlarged it did I notice

that some historical vandal scratched M & S either side of the bust......Gits! I hadn't seen this in all these years..... only if these could talk,

fortunately this side was untouched and only circulation rubbed damaged,

Cheers, its been quite a journey working through all that I have with me, The William III I read......

" In 1696 a great re-coinage was undertaken to replace the hammered silver that made up most of the coinage in circulation, much of it being clipped and badly worn. Branch mints were set up at Bristol, Chester, Exeter, Norwich and York to help with the re-coinage"

to be honest at the time I picked up coins that were Silver, very old, and Historically Interesting......that I failed to research....until now...!?!?!

many thanks "H"

1 Shilling

George IV

2nd portrait; 3rd reverse

with a common coin, condition is key, this would be the better of others I have,

any suggestions as to this coin's grade ? I have posted another one that has a counterstamp which I find fascinating although its been dismissed by others I've shown . 

many thanks "H"

GF/NVF for the George II shilling I think. The reverse is better. Good coin.

Make the most of the situation. Try selling it to Martin Scorsese and see if you can make a profit.

It’s not VF but it’s better than Fine. Between the two I'd say.

It’s not that far off VF imo. Obviously such coins look more worn when enlarged, so in hand it probably looks very nice.
