Charles I Shilling 1625 - 1647

[Citizen H]

Hello, 

so with what's been talked about with my recent shown this hopefully might be right.......

for your consideration I'd like to share with you 

King Charles I Shilling (12p) 

circa 1625 - 1649

its been sheared & buckled  

made at which mint ? 

I seem to recall this was a left over from a sale of a collection that had been broken, again it wouldn't have been that much. any ideas of its value will be greatly welcome.

All the very best "H"

Hi H. Sadly, not a lot to go on here! So, it's Tower (of London) mint, as are the majority. The privy (mint) mark is Tun so it was struck between 14 Feb 1636- 8 May 1638. And it has a cross with small neat ends over the reverse shield, so Group F. If I had to guess, I'd say F3/1 which is Spink 2796.

Clipped and worn. People like eye appeal (or at least a clear mint mark and identifiable portrait), so it's not going to fetch much I'm afraid. £10-£20 maybe?

Reverse looks great but a nice obverse is what people want , I would also say £20 tops .

By the way its not a 12p coin
