azda Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Can anyone tell me what denomination this coin is .....its either a sixpence or a shilling, if its an 1889 shilling then its quite rare with the jubilee head on, but can't quite make the date out. I see the arabs lost the day Edited February 13, 2011 by azda Quote

Its also about a Fine grade, thats aF, a little less than Fine, just my opinion though. I might also be over for a wee visitation in April, just to breath some Scottish air and a swallie Edited February 13, 2011 by azda Quote

SionGilbey Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Personally I'd grade it as a Good.But I'm going to trust azda's grading skills and call it a fine - therefore worth around a fiver. Quote

The larger JH is only worth what the other dates are. Quote
