[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 7782051, member: 110226"]Very nice coins and an interesting thread. I dug out three gun money coins that I've owned for many years, and took some photos of them today. First is the crown, dated 1690. I believe this coin was struck on a new flan, since I see absolutely no evidence of an under-coin. [ATTACH=full]1335257[/ATTACH] Next is the half crown, dated June 1690, and quite rough, scratched, cleaned a long time ago and somewhat crusty. As a bonus there's a pretty good sized die break on the obverse. This coin came to me by way of Dale Seppa. This coin is a variety with the spelling error of June as "Jnue" which is quite rare. [ATTACH=full]1335262[/ATTACH] The third coin came from Karl Stephens. It is a shilling, dated 10 (December) 1689. [ATTACH=full]1335263[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
