I'd have to look up a value first.

 

I know little about foreign coins in general.

This has far more detail than I'd expect on any 18th century US coin.

I'm guessing the date is kinda bogus like on a bullion coin like a Maria Teresa Taler with an old date in MS condition that was made recently.

No more than $2 since I don't know what it is.

 

seems too well struck for 1787 technology, 1790's US stuff isn't struck like that.

I'm sure someone here knows all about it.

 

I guess you say it is sterling or .925 fine....how do you know that ?

I think I fell into a trap and you know it is worth a lot !

 

Krause has it listed as $75 in Unc, $40 in XF. So somewhere in between those $. It list the Proof at $500 in Unc(plain edge)

 

No Traps here!!!!
Bid was $22.00 Last I checked it. Its well struck by Photos

It isn't a modern copy, the 1787 six pence and shilling do tend to look that good. Ours were "crude" because we were new at it, but GB had been striking milled coinage since the mid 1500's and they did a good job at it.

The 1787 six pence an shilling are not rare and can be found it that condition without too much trouble.

 

My top bid would be $55 if all the info I have read is correct.

 

Beautiful coin, I would only bid around $40 but that's only because I wouldn't be able to pay what it's truly worth. It wouldn't really fit in my collection but it really is a beauty. Most likely it'll go for quite a bit. :thumb:

 

:thumb:I would say yes but $75.00 could be a top out bid.
due grade + date how often you see a high grade British 1787 6pence.this one looks gradable that could add hidden value but that up to a Tpg if grades its a 1787 Maundy 6 pence money. :devil:

Thank Matthew Boulton and the Birmingham Mint for superior striking technology with steam powered coin presses - the 1797 cartwheel penny and tuppence wouldn't have been possible. So many of the early Conder tokens were struck with this machinery which is why they are so imminently collectable, because greater detail was possible with greater stamping power.

By comparison the US was still using screw presses during that time - lot less striking pressure.

Anyone can post a coin!!!!
World coins are up that the only reason I am posting a few.
This could be a good one @ $137.00 + 2days to go on ebay.
Bad photo but get # go to Pcgs their photos are great.

 

The Royal Mint was also using screw presses. The Royal Mint did not upgrade to steam presses (sold to them by Boulton) until after 1800. I forget the exact date. Boulton struck the copper coinage for them using steam powered presses under contract in 1797 and 1799.
