Terrific Tudors And Stunning Stuarts

Very nice example of this type, congratulations.

Thank you!

Outstanding!

Good clear examples t360! Nice!

The current coin market in the UK appears to mostly consist of people holding onto anything nice! This means I don't often add to my main collection, so this is a rare (and welcome!) addition to my Charles I shillings.

Spink 2796, Sharp F3/1. Tun dates it to the Tower (of London) mint between 14 Feb 1636 and 8 May 1638.






A slight improvement on my old one, despite being a bit double struck to the reverse and showing some early die cracking to the obverse. Basically a typical Tower shilling!

A good, full coin with most of the edge beading showing and some pleasing old toning. And a nice bonus it having the CAROLVVS error (same dies as Brooker 516), though sadly that had to be where the flan is thinnest, didn't it? So the strike is a bit weak at that point. Well, you can't win them all! :D

Thanks! The portrait is a bit more detailed than my old one. And I like the fact it's on a broader flan and most of the edge beading shows. I wasn't desperate for an upgrade, but it caught my eye!

We're not here to keep secrets, so show us all.

I study this coinage, and have been conducting a die study.


This is one of the coins featured in this thread, which in actuality is a cast fake. Here are some more duplicates of the same "example"


Another of the same user's coins is also a fake in my opinion, I want to email them and provide some insight / evidence, but since I have a new account it will not let me. Can any moderators please enable my account for emailing other users please?
