<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 17262210, member: 110226&quot;]Nice shilling!&nbsp; I really like the color and the state of preservation.&nbsp; More often than not these coins are in pretty rough shape.&nbsp; As tokens they were never redeemed for silver coinage, as promised by James II, so many were likely discarded, reemerging over three hundred years later looking as if they were thrown away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an odd ball that might have been one of those coins, a half crown with June spelled Jnue, a pretty rare bird. Too much Guinness?&nbsp; The coin was purchased from Dale Seppa back in the 1980s, when collectors ordered coins from printed price lists, with eventual delivery by ox cart. Buying coins have improved since then, generally speaking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ireland, James II, AE half crown &quot;gun money&quot;, 1690, &quot;Jnue&quot; error.&nbsp; Purchased from Dale Seppa.</p><p>10.60 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1535544[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
