<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2607072, member: 19165"]It is definitely possible to get coins of Lizzie for a fair price. I prefer the shilling, because of its large size and good detail. Many of the coins from Elizabeth I have problems, and most on Ebay are overpriced. It will take a little bit of looking, but you can find attractive coins with great detail for around your budget (try to avoid coins with obvious surface problems, such as cleaning or scratches). The groat and sixpence will generally be cheaper, but nothing beats a shilling for value (in my opinion). While this coin is a bit more than your price range, this seems like a good place to post a shilling I used to own. I purchased it in 2009 for $200, and sold it last year for $450. It is graded VF-30 by NGC: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Bob%20Campbell/JPW586obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Bob%20Campbell/JPW586reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
