You have 150k to play with - can you post a bigger picture? Quote
del Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 sorry about that,hoprfully this one better Quote
Rob Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Does it match Nicholson 122? i.e. is it from the same reverse die? The image is too dark to tell and it would help if the whole reverse was present. Quote

This link goes to the William III section and 122 is the 1699 stop after date. Your coin is not from the same reverse die, but the picture is too dark and the pitting makes it very difficult to say for certain what is in the exergue. A different die doesn't exclude a stop after the date, but the condition of the coin raises questions as to whether any apparent stops are genuine or artefacts arising from corrosion. Quote
