I have just aquired the very rare 1825 shilling with Roman 1, condition is MS62 however, and here it is, at some point in it's very past life the coin has been gilded. In your opinion does the gilding detract from the value of this very rare coin? Many thanks, Julian Report this Post to the Staff

Please add them to this thread as it can help answer your question. I will say that as a general rule, plating is considered damage and would only serve to decrease the value of a coin.

Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 6:08 pm Could it have been gilded in an attempt to pass it off as the 2nd ( shield type ) George IV sovereign? I know the designs and sizes differ slightly, but the coinage was still new then and people would no doubt still be getting used to it, providing opportunities for just this type of con trick.

It's certainly a scarce variety, but British collectors aren't as crazy about varieties as Americans are, and George IV shillings aren't collected as extensively as, say Victorian bronze pennies, so what a collector would be prepared to pay for one might be quite another matter.
