Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 11/14/2011 11:30 pm Hello and welcome. The laurel (first and third pics) is slightly underweight, but not unreasonably so. The obverse mintmark is missing but the reverse appears to be fleur-de-lys, dating it to 1623-4, which would make it type number 2638B in the Sear catalogue. The coin is slightly bent but otherwise very well preserved. The catalogue price is £1500 in VF condition; this coin may be worth a bit more because I think it would rate better than VF. This one is being auctioned in a few days at £1200-1500 estimate, though it's in an American third-party-grader slab. This one sold for 1500 Swiss francs. The unite (second and fourth pics) is a gram underweight, and I'd want to know why, since it doesn't appear to be badly clipped. Can you recheck the weight, please? Mintmark rose, dating it to 1605-6. I think it's a "fourth bust" portrait, making it Sear #2619. Book value is again £1500 in VF, but I'm not sure this one quite makes that grade. This example of a similar coin went unsold at $1500 estimate. This bent and underweight example sold in April for $600. CoinArchives is running a bit slow at the moment. And a note to future readers of this thread: the CoinArchives links expire six months after the auction. Sorry. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
