Aec1985 New Member United Kingdom 12 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 5:33 pm Hullo there, this coin is advertised as a shilling, I'm wondering if it's actually a sixpence instead? And I'm wondering if anybody here knows if this coin looks genuine? also does anyone have any rough estimate as to how much it's worth? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Aec1985 02/20/2017 6:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17956 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 6:31 pm It's a sixpence. Elizabeth I shillings weren't dated. I'm sure one of our hammered experts will come along with an approximate value. It looks genuine to me.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/21/2017 9:28 pm Disclaimer: not an expert. Any faults are my own. North 1997/Spink 2562 6d and should weight around 2.9-3g with a diameter of approx. 25.0-25.3mm, with an unclipped flan, in average Fine. Was this a ground recovery coin? It appears the obverse has sustained some scratches in front of the bust, perhaps it could also be crystallization of the metal/alloy separation. Not sure what the white areas are on the reverse. A quick look at auctions and you can find the same date with the various intermediate bust types has sold in F-gF for £30-£50 and nVF-VF for £60-£90, above VF it gets quite expensive to play. Your coin is decently centered, with minor flan loss; but I wouldn't expect that it should bring more than £20/as-is on the top end and that's only if there are not further issues not seen in the photos. I'd keep it for the historic value and to have one in the cabinet if you haven't got one already.
