Shilling 1666 Elephant below bust, First Bust Variety, ESC 1026, Bull 507 VG or slightly better for wear, the obverse with two X-shaped scratches, the reverse with some weakness on the French shield and a flan flaw, a rare one-year type coin, rated R2 by both ESC and Bull
Shilling 1686 G over A in MAG, ESC 1071, this variety unlisted for 1686 by ESC or Bull, who list this type for 1687 with 7 over 6, so an interesting insight into the origins of the variety, VG/Fine the obverse with some tooling, our archive database shows that this is only the second example we have offered
Shilling 1700 Fifth Bust, No Stops on Reverse, Tall 00 in date ESC 1122, Bull 1153 (Bull lists the cross reference as ESC 1122A) a mint example with original surfaces and colour, the reverse in particular further enhanced by gold and grey toning, a superb piece with lots of eye appeal, in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 80. Only 2 examples thus far recorded by the LCGS Population Report of which this is the finest. We also note PCGS have only graded 3 examples, and NGC only one example
Shilling 1708 PlumesESC 1148 A/UNC and lustrous, slabbed and graded LCGS 75, the finest of just 2 examples thus far recorded by the LCGS population Report
Shilling 1708 Third Bust, plain below bust, plain in angles ESC 1147, Bull 1399, a superb example with original surfaces, attractive gold and blue toning over original mint lustre, in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 82. The second finest of 34 examples thus far recorded by the LCGS Population Report
Shilling 1720 Plain in angles, Large Letters on Reverse, ESC 1169, Bull 1573 a choice example with attractive tone over underlying mint lustre, in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 80. George I Shillings other than 1718 and 1723 SSC extremely hard to find in high grades and are seldom offered, the joint finest known of 6 examples thus far recorded by the LCGS Population Report. We note the finest graded by PCGS is a single example graded MS64 and the finest graded by NGC is only AU58 so this piece potentially very near the top of all examples extant
Shilling 1721 Roses and PlumesESC 1171, Bull 1577 (8 strings to Harp) EF the obverse with some haymarking, our records indicate this is the first we have offered since 2003, whereas we have offered all the various overdates for this year, so probably rarer than the 'R' rating given by ESC, Cataloguer's Note, there is evidence of doubling to the 21 in the date but is quite different to examples of the published overdates we have studied, also Bull states the overdates have 7 or 9 harp strings and the Plain date coin has 8 harp strings, graded 65 by LCGS
Shilling 1727 George IIRoses and PlumesESC 1190, Bull 1695, a choice and sharply struck example, in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 82, a stunning example and the finest of just 3 examples thus far recorded by the LCGS Population Report. This piece is markedly superior to the example formerly in the celebrated Roger Shuttlewood collection
Shilling 1750 50 over 46 Wide Round 0 in date, this contradicts the coins listed in ESC and Bull. It is stated that the 50 over 46 is only found with narrow 0, whereas the 5 over 4 is listed with wide 0. This coin clearly shows an overdate on the last two figures of the date and has the round rather than tall 0 in the date. An interesting piece, a most attractive example, the reverse particularly lustrous and pleasing with light toning. in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 78
Shilling 1763 Northumberland ESC 1214, Bull 2124 a most attractive example, the obverse with a subtle and colourful tone, the reverse with touches of blue and cinnamon toning, in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 78

Shilling 1844 ESC 1291, Bull 2990 A highly lustrous example displaying original mint bloom, further enhanced by touches of attractive golden tone, a particularly eye-catching and outstanding example, the early Young Head coins with the extra obverse relief excellent examples of the type.

A superb and very desirable piece, in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 82

Stated by Krause to have been produced for photographic purposes only. In an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 91.

Bull 1304, Rarity 6, not listed in the 1992 ESC, but referred to in a footnote on page 148 thus 'There is a Second Bust Sixpence of much finer style in the National Collection. This is undoubtedly a pattern together with the Crown and Halfcrown (ESC 93 and ESC 540) of similar style. This example is the plate coin in the Bull 'English Silver Coinage' 2015 edition. Only 3 examples exist, only 2 being in private hands. This example in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 30. A highly important piece and a rare opportunity to own such an important coin
