Charles I Shilling

Not the best condition but as for a find, I think, pretty decent :)

If you found it yourself with a metal detector, well done! Great find!

Looks really early too, like 1620s as he has a very 1620s look rather than the flowing hair and Van Dyke beard of the 1630s/40s. the Shield reminds me more of James I

I don't suppose you can read a mint mark on it can you (Anyway its a magnificent coin!) and to find it is beater rather than fork out Hundreds of dollars like I did!

On the bright side, you didn't whack it with a shovel or spade!!

Aside from that, condition isn't bad at all. Not overly worn, I would say, just weakly struck - as made - like many of these Elizabethan/Charles pieces.

Nice find. Would've been REALLY neat if you found it in Virginia :->
