Peckris Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Hi, can someone tell me something more about this coin, value and grade? Many thanksHi, it's not in the best of condition, but it LOOKS like a Fifth issue shilling (1582-1600), letter A mintmark. These would be worth around £100 in Fine condition - yours is Fine for the legend, Nearly Fine for the reverse design, but barely Fair for the portrait. (A good portrait is all-important for these coins). Value? Guesstimate only, I would say maybe around £30? Perhaps a bit more. Quote
Peter Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 A bit of grafitti on the obverse which is interesting in its own right.Usually the queens head is practically invisible.Also a nice round flan.On ebay with a decent picture finishing on a Sunday evening I would expect up to £40....but equally it might slip through on a Monday lunch time for less than £10.
