1763 Northumberland shilling

Recommended Posts

Very soft detail, suspicious colouration  and the vendor clearly thinks it’s iffy “NO RETURNS ACCEPTED,SOLD AS PER PICTURES”.

I certainly won’t be bidding.

Worryingly mushy.

Pewter-and-black is a sure colour mixture for a repro / fake.

I know nothing whatsoever about this type of coin.

BUT

It's just looks wrong to me too- the colour- two tone -one wrong light coloured alloy treated in some way,

with the dark bits all perfectly uniformly coloured.

 

Nope- looks recently made -a  20 minute patina applied in a factory,

rather than 250 years of hanging around in the back of a drawer....
