Hi friends. I have just received a very nice Queen Anne 1714 shilling. It looks to be in great condition. I have seen that there is a big difference in price between Graded and non Graded coins and was wondering whether anyone thinks it would be worth the extra money to get this one done. Cheers
I didn't find a value bu I found some info. .....Very nice coin except some rim issues . 1 Shilling - Anne (3rd bust) - United Kingdom – Numista
It depends... If you are keeping it for yourself, then grading is entirely personal preference. (I don't.) If you are selling, it depends a lot on where you are selling it. If in the US, the uplift is enormous, so well worth the effort. If in the UK or Europe, probably not.
What @PaddyB said. Regardless, it is a nice coin. I like the coinage of Queen Anne. I had a 1714 guinea once. And a groat in NGC MS62.
Five of these coins have come up for auction in the U.S. at Heritage Auctions since 2010. The issue, IMO, is the grade for your coin. I see a few issues; cleaning?, wear, damage to the top crown on the obverse, all of which will figure in the grade. Assuming cleaning is not a factor in the grade, I would expect a mid AU grade. I think a value minimum of $250+ would be appropriate, however, since these coins rarely reach the auctions, a greater value may be realized. It appears the photo of the coin was taken through a clear protective covering which is reflecting glare from the light source making it difficult to determine the surface condition. To grade or not to grade is a decision you must make. https://coins.ha.com/itm/great-brit...r-ArchiveSearchResults-012417&lotPosition=0|3
