I have this, (some would say pitiful), example of a 1735 (silver) 1 Skilling coin, from the reign of King Christian VI. I am trying to 'reference'...
@Roerbakmix - Sir, I thank-you so very much for your response. I am quite inexperienced in this field, so I will have to read and re-read...
@TIF - As always, THANK-YOU.
