Nick Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 However any specialised shilling collector should know his subject.It would be an idea to contact the seller or even give him a link to the forum.I'll contact the seller and see what he says. Quote
azda Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Davies states Type A6 has the T of Gratia pointing to a bead, this clearly doesn't Quote
Nick Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Davies states Type A6 has the T of Gratia pointing to a bead, this clearly doesn'tThat's odd, my copy of Davies doesn't mention that. Mine says for obverse 5: "I of Vict to space. 8 beads between A's. Short serifs in I's".Attached is the obverse from an 1868 shilling, which can only be S.3906A. I think it shows that the advertised 1867 is not of the same type. Quote

The I enclosed by single quotes certainly does look like a T. I'm not sure where the I of GRATIA is supposed to point, Davies uses the I of VICT to distinguish the two types.Either way, the second and third heads are quite different. The most obvious is at the end of the pony tail. The second head hair tapers away to a rounded end, whereas the third head ends in a hook-like ringlet of hair.The attached is an 1865 shilling obverse which is unambiguously S.3905. Quote

azda Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Its nothing to do with inverted axis tho, its the hair at the back of her neck and Is and Ts pointing to beads or not.I think he's bought it as an A6 from someone who's then told him that its rare and now he's selling it as such Quote

What is more worrying is that it has 4 bids already. Edited April 26, 2011 by Rob Quote

Cerbera100 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 eBay...Really? £500?!I struggled to get 500p last time I sold one of these! I like how she's put 'mule' in the title so it comes up when people search for the 20p! Quote
