1866 Jersey One Thirteenth Of A Shilling?

Recommended Posts

Does anybody collect them? Would it Sell?

I have one in VF grade (not sure though).

I'll post pics tonight, when i have a camera other than my phone. It is the same size as a penny.

They aren't popular because the design is fairly boring and monotonous across the entire series. However, for anyone wanting to assemble a complete coinage they are the ideal material. Cheap, relatively available despite the low mintages, and ultimately quite a satisfying venture for the collector.

I quite like the design and have a 1870 1/26th of a Shilling in EF, but wouldn't have more than one....

One of my first coins was a 1866 Jersey 1/13 shilling. I got it in GVF condition out of change in 1966 when I worked the till at J Lyons and Co Ltd. It was absolutely black with little wear and I was fascinated to find this nice condition 100 year old coin in change. I've still got it, but I've never been tempted to collect the series.
