raybutler Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 01/15/2014 4:58 pm I recently picked up this 1824 Shilling. It looks to be in excellent condition. Can anyone tell me a little bit about it? Value? Rarity? Any help is greatly appreciated. Moved to British forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Decent detail, but looks to have maybe caught a harsh cleaning a while back (toned over somewhat, though still bright in spots), if I'm reading the photos correctly... Report this Post to the Staff

Here's the NGC database page for it, using American grading standards with prices in American dollars. I don't know about old cleaning; the patina looks authentic enough to me. 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
