Edward VI Shilling About 1553

It is a very pleasant coin after the previous debased coinage.There are plenty on ebay at present (very common).I would study these.Being a common issue I have yet to see a good copy of one.

I was having a guess, I may well be wrong, I actually now think it is 4.38gramms, but Spink say the 1551-53 issue was 3DWT (Pennyweight), this would equate to 67.5 grains, a pennyweight is equal to 22.5 grains or 1.46 gramms, so 3dwt should equal 67.5 grains or 4.38gramms or.

but it is very possible I am reading this wrong, perhaps someone can explain the 11oz.3dwt, I am not sure what the 11oz part is, I assume it's something to do with the silver content in £1 of silver

I bought a Judean Widow's Mite of Alexander Jannaeus of Judea, that I found amongst a large group of IHC's a country car boot sale a few weeks ago. very cheaply. You have to know what you are buying in a situation like this, and the same applies to the Edward V1 Shilling.
Fortunately, I have had a couple of them for over 20 years, so I knew very well what I was looking at.

Since I collect World coins all cultures from the invention of coinage and have done so for nearly 40 years, I would have jumped at that Edward V1 shilling, if the price was right! If you are satisfied with the coin, you just rely on your 'gut' feeling as regards price, if you don't have price references with you.
The more experience you have, the better chance you have of winning.

With car boot sales, I just keep an open mind on ANYTHING, not just coins, and I never go hunting specifically. I go just to enjoy the show. Happens more often when you are a member of a classic car club.
