ive got 2 new UK coins in my collection. And I was wondering which types these are? One is an 1/2 crown 1697 with edge description. Looks like Spink 3487.
The other is an Shilling 1723. Here I am not sure. Probably the standard issue London type?
Was wondering if someone could off help me with these...
To me it looks like you have George I shilling 1723 with S/CC arms of England at the date first bust.(it could be second bust as I do not have my references with me at work)
Looks to be in About fine or fine it may be cleaned. Value 20 to 30 pounds or so, $50 or so American.
The william III half crown looks to be very good, maybe a bit less. I cannot see it well enough on my computer to see the mint. Many English collectors frown at collecting this grade, but I would be proud to put it in my type set.
Any time, Vince. I am a bit puzzled why some of our members with greater knowledge have not chimed in. I am just learning and always get amazed at how reasonable pre 1800 English coins are. Anything US dated pre 1800 can be like buying a Renaissance Master painting.
I am wondering I have here the edge description. Maybe the edge has varities of the half crown. I can't find that. The Edge describes: +++*DECVS*ET*TVTAMEN*?*ANNO*REGNI*NONO*
Is this the usual edge description? The * is an dot
Hi Tryna Half-Crown is indeed S3487 Nono. Large Shields Ordinary Harp. Shilling is S3647 C/SS in third quarter. Notoriusly weak strikes on many of these. Yours prob would grade NVF. Letters and nuumbers always had problems. Not enough umph to nail them home
