I used the Zander Kawalas (sp) list of emperors and worked from there. One needs to have goals and some limits. I know that my way collecting does...
A couple people have already posted one of these Philip and Mary shillings in better condition, but if I had been an English citizen at this time,...
I had one like that many years ago with the blue toning. I was in my 20s and thought that the coin was a cull. I broke up the set. When I opened...

It has Ch VF to EF sharpness, but the surfaces are pitted with corrosion with some of the corrosion still on the reverse. The net grade would be...

Sorry, @dougsmit, but talking down to people is not a positive approach. I am sorry that I am not as well versed in languages as you. Dyslexia...
