He's still around Paddy, but he's getting on in age and taking things a little easier these days. There'll probably be no further updated version of the ESC. Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 02/14/2024 3:11 pm OK - no problem. That makes it London mint, which is fairly standard. The provincial mints are not desperately scarce, but give one the excuse to add more to the collection! Report this Post to the Staff

zookeeperz Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 695 Posts	Posted 03/02/2024 1:34 pm I hate it when my gaydar goes off so forgive me for airing my concerns. It has all the look of a fake. From its metal looking appearance along with so many things that are wrong about the coin including Fred Flinstone's Dino try to pass off as the Scottish emblem in the shield. I don't know what is in the centre and the quartered surround doesn't look quartered. Coins and designs are made in a symmetrical nature and it just looks like everything is out of proportion. It could be just a bad angle from the camera but I very much doubt it If it's genuine I am Elvis. The conmen in this field are a blithe to the coin collecting fraternity and the sad thing is they are getting better. This probably answers your OP why does the shield have 2 lines and not 1 .

Dearborn Moderator United States 96607 Posts	Posted 03/02/2024 4:30 pm I appreciate your comments and concerns - that is why I post these coins up separately. But this coin and almost all the coin I posted so far I bought from an antique store in Wales (UK) back in 1984. ( I went back and checked that it was not a new purchase) I'll wait for others to chime in on this new development.. thanks. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96607 Posts	Posted 03/03/2024 6:01 pm I'm trying to figure out what mint this coin came from and to also find out what variety it is (harp size - early or later) crown size Etc. Are there any good sites I can visit for this coin (1697 William III 6 pence - as a reminder) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96607 Posts	Posted 03/03/2024 6:18 pm Ok maybe I got it. First bust, small crowns, 2nd harp, no MM. So this is from London - Sp#3531, KM#484.12 (1696-97) no mintmark, later harp, small crowns Info taken from: https://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/p...d/index.html AND this one has that double border around the shield/crest as indicated above. can someone check my math please?

Dearborn Moderator United States 96607 Posts	Posted 03/05/2024 06:23 am I guess I got it correct, if there was no further input. I'll assume that this coin is authentic. Collecting since 1972.
