Dearborn Moderator United States 96935 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 5:20 pm From what I can find I rhink it is real, but what do you think? the auction ends in 40 minutes.. On ebay, I might buy this coin: 1 Shilling 1720 King George I 1st bust GEORGIVS Great Britain Very Rare KM# 539 ebay item number:174618384832 The following link is a site on British coins. I think that the listed coin above and the one in the link below are the same. https://coinscatalog.net/great-brit...imal-coinage Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96935 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 5:39 pm ya the canyon is real, but what about the coin it lives on? You see, years ao I started a goal to get one coin from every reining King/Queen in England. so far I have from Queen Elisabeth I right through Queen Elisabeth II - with 3 exceptions: James II (1685-1688) George I (1714-1727) and Edward VIII (1936)(which did not mint any coin at all due to his advocation) I also have Edward I (1272-1307) and Edward II (1307-1327) Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96935 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 5:51 pm @ Hogarth: I see you are from the U.K. maybe you can be of assistance to me. I'll forget about the above coin after hearing from all of you above. - many thanks on that. I can tell you that during the time I lived in Wales, is when I had acquired the English coins I already have. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 5:55 pm 1720 date scarce, but certainly not rare. Damaged coin with the very obvious scratch. I think current bid of $76 a bit too high. Report this Post to the Staff
Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 02/11/2021 11:18 pm Totally real and apart from gouge a decent specimen. I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I would not say no to it. Report this Post to the Staff
