[QUOTE="PaddyB, post: 1682531, member: 40017"]Nice coins Enochian! As I collect British coins, I am bound to admire their design. The 1946 Shilling is the English version by the way - the Scottish version has the lion facing head on. (I always remember it by the duplicitous English never looking you straight in the eye! And I am English!) Here are some examples to teach you more if you are interested: [ATTACH]252211.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]252210.vB[/ATTACH] Left hand coin is my 1946 English Shilling - a lovely coin, but still not a proof coin, and only worth a little over scrap. Middle coin is my 1920 Sixpence - still not proof, and still only worth a few times scrap value. Right hand coin is my 1927 threepence - this is Proof, but the only way I can be certain of this is that none were issued other than in proof! It is one of the scarcest threepences, and worth GBP 80 to 100. Feel free to ask for more info if you need - I have examples of most British coins to share.[/QUOTE]
