This thread should take a deep breath, gather itself and proceed from there.

Thanks everyone for all your help. I've got in touch with Baldwin's and will keep you updated on how it goes and the outcome of the coin's authenticity.

Dependent on the quality of these, you could have quite a sum of money tied up here. If high quality, all would be very auctionable as a collection.

The Anne and William III would be good to see

I agree with some of the others, obverse toning is suspicious but the details look amazingly sharp.

It is normal for home made photos to fail to show toning as it is.
If a reputable dealer vouches for the coins you are good to sell. No need for you to box a coin in plastic. Do as the auction house you choose says is best.

As requested, here are the William III and Anne coins:

Some of them are quite worn unfortunately.

Happy to take pictures of any others that people might find quite interesting.

Good to see that beyond the Gothic crown, there's some quality genuine collector material, nice original skin.
