<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2400899, member: 29751&quot;]This is a surprisingly common journey for coins it seems.&nbsp; It pays to do some research before bidding.&nbsp; Enjoy the 1 year tracking of the coin below. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>===============================</p><p><b>April 10, 2015</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage Auctions, as a part of their 2015 CICF auctions, sells a 1708 Queen Anne Shilling for <b><span style="color: #00b359">$1,057</span></b> in an old NGC holder graded <b>MS64</b>, and described as:</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff"><b>Anne Shilling 1708 MS64 NGC,</b> Royal mint, KM523.1, S-3610, ESC-1147.
