Happy Friday,

so I do try to find these in order, a order  maybe beginning to settle...... maybe???

yesterday I found 3 James I errrrmmm shillings? these will follow on and I need to confess the James I look like they've been looked at during the time spent with me and I have a indication what information has already been discovered about them.... I save these for later as it looks like an interesting one,

so..  George III 1819 George IIII 1821 Crowns... I very nearly posted this as George III Crowns, I did check the dates and who was around, aha! correction G III & G IIII  Rubbed and bashed? any ideas as to the values would be use....

 

Also1819 was a very turbulent and unsettled time in England:

The Peterloo Massacre took place at St Peter's Field, Manchester, Lancashire, England, on Monday 16 August 1819.

Eighteen people died and 400–700 were injured when cavalry charged into a crowd of around 60,000 people who had gathered to demand the reform of parliamentary representation. Blood Heck Sabres at Dawn !

Nice bit of history! Quite shocking that such a thing could happen, and the strength of feeling that 60,000 could gather together like that, without social media!

IMHO both coins are again in the £25-£30 bracket.
