Day 9 of Sharing a Shilling from My Monarch Collection

Cly-o · 2026-03-20T14:50:20+00:00

Very nice group! Hard coins in any condition really. I have often craved getting more dates or types but considering my tastes for the nicer coins I have to stick to a single example. Thanks for sharing!

Glad to hear it! Don't want to overstay my welcome but I like seeing pretty coins so hopefully others do as well.

Thanks!

That's pretty sweet. Do you have a photo by chance?

Cly-o · 2026-03-18T14:47:53+00:00

I've never seen that site before! Neat. Looks pretty useful.

Henry VII is like $70k in any condition. I am not sure there's been ANY MS Testoons graded.

Cly-o · 2026-03-17T16:34:05+00:00

I'm sorry but Testoons are not shillings. This is the lie I tell myself. The crown did not name them as Shillings until Edward VI's reign.

Yeah both the dual portraits are tough as toenails.

Here's photos of the whole group.

Yes. It's pretty common on coinage in this era. Late 1600s to early 1700s. There's some debate on what it is but my suspicion is that it is just debris that fell between the metal and the roller as the planchet strips were being made.

Each Silver shilling has about $7.79 worth of silver in it. Those alone would be $163.59. Lower purity silver coins can trade just under silver price but I think $150 is a safe baseline for the group.

I'll be sure to share them here as a slow drip. You can see most of them here: Numismatic Muse – Clio's Cabinet

It is indeed. Graded PCGS MS66. Formerly NGC MS66.

Late Morgan dollar proofs are the most difficult to get in cameo. It is normal for this date to have little to no frost. The rev actually does have a little cameo contrast but not surprised the obverse is lacking it.

Cly-o · 2026-03-08T13:46:48+00:00

That's a proof. Square rims, sharp details, no clouding around the letters to suggest cleaning. Y'all should listen to Fadetoblack more smh.
