<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mule, post: 561339, member: 18075&quot;]OK, I&#039;m looking through the threads and as a British collector who does British coins, I&#039;m supposing this hasn&#039;t already been asked. I hope I&#039;m not too much of a voice crying in the wilderness here.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Six weeks back I bought a 1787 shilling. This is one of the &quot;No Hearts&quot; type, but within that type it&#039;s the variety listed a Scarce in ESC, with no stops either side of the date.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>ESC has a footnote to this piece which says that the final 7 of the date may possibly be over a 6, and it was while I was squinting at it through my loupe that I got distracted by the 8. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In a nutshell, it looks like it&#039;s over a 3. I can see a sort of spur hanging off the bottom of the 8, like the tail of a 3 but with a sharp serif, and much of the right hand side of the 8 has a &quot;shadow&quot;. I cannot see that it could be anything other than a 3.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Can anyone shed any light on this? Is it an unlisted variety??</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mule.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
