<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 7610133, member: 15588"]I have one of these as well and the attribution sold with it says it's a 2466, but possibly a different portrait (I don't have Spink handy, but I think 2466 has possibly 6 different portraits) - I think mine was a VF, or at least sold as one (so it's probably an F). Grading hammered coins, as already mentioned, can create migraines, but I think they tend towards far more lenient grades than moderns. I like the portrait on mine better, but the OP's looks better overall.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1310145[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1310146[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Edward VI</b> <i><b>- Shilling</b> Second Period, debased - Tower Mint</i></p><p><i>Spink 2466</i></p><p><i>1549 (MDXLIX on reverse)</i></p><p><i>Obverse:</i> EDWARD VI : D • G • AGL • FRA • Z : HIB • REX</p><p><i>Reverse:</i> Arrow Mintmark, TIMOR • DOMINI • FONS : VITÆ • M : D : XLIX; E - R across fields[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
