DaveG38 Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Just the one coin - a nice 1707 Roses and Plumes shilling of Queen Anne. Reasonable grade - NVF and decent old toning, so quite pleasant and another gap in the Queen Anne wall. Quote

I might be prepared to sell the 'Marianne' collection I assembled last year. All depicting the republican symbol of a woman in a Phrygian hat. 25 coins (well, not all coins as that includes a couple of tokens and local issue 'coins of necessity' and a few duplicates and coins where she's not wearing her hat, so 33 in all) from various countries in various metals dating from 1796 to 1992. Like these: £500 the lot. I'd include the little box they are stored in with them. Edited December 26, 2014 by TomGoodheart Quote

TomGoodheart Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Why? That looks a unique and attractively themed collection. True. But the money would considerably boost the reserves for adding to main collection ... Chas shillings always get priority I'm afraid and nicer examples are not getting any cheaper. .
