<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Conduitt, post: 7654678, member: 109923&quot;]Very nice. These are difficult to get in good condition and some months are harder to get than others. I got this half crown for a fair bit more than $128 with a common month.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the Battle of the Boyne was in July 1690, the recipients didn&#039;t have long to spend them before they were worthless. (I think your January 1689 is actually only 4 months older than my May 1690 according to the Julian calendar). But apparently a large number were struck, and since they weren&#039;t worth much, many got discarded.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>James II Gun Money &#039;Small&#039; Half Crown, May 1690</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1315965[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Dublin (&#039;James&#039; press).
