Charles I Tower Shilling Acquisition

[Paulus 1,975]

Some of you may remember a Charles I Shilling with unusual legend double-striking that Richard posted a few months ago, and suggested he might be open to offers. Well given my renewed interest in late hammered I have today acquired this coin, which I like for many reasons

(Sorry Stu, I know you don't like these!)

Hang on, someone else on here has just bought one of those?

Must be a fake from Ali Express, bugger

They're getting better at faking those NGC slab labels too!

Nice to see enthusiasm for hammered gaining ground here.

Tom I love that coin. To me it's all about handmade coins not machine made.. There are exceptions though

I now almost exclusively deal with hammered coins.
