Here is the earliest shilling I have, which is from Edward VI. [ATTACH]
Here is something similar in an American coin. [ATTACH]
I would say MS-62.
It would be nice if the British issued a four piece coronation gold set with the half sovereign, sovereign, two pound and five pound coins like...
I think that the coin has original surfaces and displays the color that results from toning as the original red fades. It is nicely preserved.
It is a pretty lousy counterfeit. The Eagle’s breast feathers give it away in the first second of viewing.
When join some sites for the first time, they make you jump through some hoops before let you post anything. My guess it’s to catch robotic accounts.

When I had my collection graded during the 1999 to 2001 period, the coins that got body bagged most often were my early copper pieces. I sold a...
AU-55. The reverse looks to be Mint State, but the obverse accounts for most of the grade.
