azda Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 As the header says, this is the flaming hair variety William III shilling Spink 3515, its come from the Association Shipwreck: If anyone is interested in it then PM me with your offer.
Coinery Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 What I find interesting about the Association wreck artefacts, is the endless DIFFERENT 'certificates' that accompany them?I put together a bathroom mirror piece a couple of years ago, which had recovered rope, musket balls, coins, etc., all purchased from different sources, and ALL with different certificates of authenticity. I've also bought 3-4 coins in the past from the said wreck, and again with differing paperwork to support!Just another point of interest, the paperwork supporting your coin is again different from the half dozen or so certificates I've seen to date?It's a funny ole game!
azda Posted May 5, 2014 Author Posted May 5, 2014 Any pics of the rev Dave?I'll sort one out shortly Paul. Incidently, how much did your Fläming hair sell for on fleabay?
azda Posted May 5, 2014 Author Posted May 5, 2014 Yes, a slight typo Peck. Here's the REV, there is a slight bend in the coin
Peckris Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Yes, a slight typo Peck. Here's the REV, there is a slight bend in the coinJust shows how unobservant one can be - despite owning some pretty good William III silver, I've only just noticed that he has the Scottish lion at the centre of his reverses, instead of the usual Garter/Sunburst motif. Makes you wonder why, as the Scots lion is already in the quartered design.

That would explain the "semée of Lego" that accompanies it.
