<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1505227, member: 12789&quot;]So so metallurgy plays a bit of a part in the condition of the coin on the obverse.&nbsp; But this coin has been harshly cleaned at sometime in the more recent past.&nbsp; Contemporary coins from Britain are frequently found with the sort of corrosion that exists on the front of the piece.&nbsp; I do see traces of what was at one time a decent amount of encrustation though - particularly on the lowest crown on the reverse where the legend &quot;ET HIB&quot; is.&nbsp; The damage on the lower English shield looks more post mint than mint damage.&nbsp; The outline of the Scottish shield displays scratches where they would have been struck through or worn off with a bit of circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
