Very nice!

 

Great coin Mat

 

This is my shilling lacking more obverse bust than yours, and I have what I think is a test mark.

 

I love the different makers (or Mint) marks on these. Easy to look up where made and an additional interest to the coins. My preference is Tower (of London).

 

Nice. When it came to get one for my british coins collection, I was torn between getting one in a grade I could afford or getting a better six pence. That time I chose the six pence, but I don't give up on getting a shilling once


Six pence, 6th type, 1591
