Have added a stack more shillings to the site and will be doing my KGVI next LOL

 

May I note that your 1711 shilling has spectres on it, which were only placed on the guinea. I suspect these were fraudulantly engraved and the coin was guilded and passed off as a guinea.... !!!

 

You are spot on & I had not even noticed it, quite possibly trying to pass it off as a Half guinea due to the size. Not only had I not noticed but the dealer I bought it from had not either LOL

 

£1 Silver Proof's

For the most part the £1 coin is I think overlokked by the collector, but just have a look at these designs Specialy the Celtic Cross
