<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 12111304, member: 96746&quot;]1696 shilling struck at Chester. The C is struck over an E, suggesting the die was sitting on the shelf waiting for orders from Exeter when a die was needed at Chester, so the existing die was modified. This is the only C over E I am aware of. Additionally, the reverse die has no stops in the legend, which is a feature only recorded for 1697.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1527356[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>1731 George II Roses and Plumes shilling with T over E in the reverse legend. This coin was liberated from the base of a broken Georgian drinking vessel hence the wear to the laurel leaves which were in contact with the glass for 275 years, as opposed to no wear on the reverse. Helpfully described on ebay as a sixpence which reduced the price to bargain basement levels. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1527357[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a regular Edward VII shilling</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1527362[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Edward VI 1551 3oz silver shilling with mm.
