What I find interesting about the Association wreck artefacts, is the endless DIFFERENT 'certificates' that accompany them?

I put together a bathroom mirror piece a couple of years ago, which had recovered rope, musket balls, coins, etc., all purchased from different sources, and ALL with different certificates of authenticity. I've also bought 3-4 coins in the past from the said wreck, and again with differing paperwork to support!

Just another point of interest, the paperwork supporting your coin is again different from the half dozen or so certificates I've seen to date?

It's a funny ole game!

Who on earth was William 52nd? (lii)

Yes, a slight typo Peck. Here's the REV, there is a slight bend in the coin

Just shows how unobservant one can be - despite owning some pretty good William III silver, I've only just noticed that he has the Scottish lion at the centre of his reverses, instead of the usual Garter/Sunburst motif. Makes you wonder why, as the Scots lion is already in the quartered design.

That's a Dutch rather than a Scottish lion, William's personal badge as Duke of Orange-Nassau

Ah, thanks David. That would explain the "semée of Lego" that accompanies it.
