I just love British and Scottish Shillings. The size of the coins are pleasing to me, and some of the designs are incredibly detailed. I don't have many yet, but I'm working on correcting that

1817 George III


1901 Queen Victoria, Veiled Head


1935 George V


1937 George VI


1950 Scottish, George VI


1950 George VI


1953 Scottish, Elizabeth II


1953 Elizabeth II


*edit 'cause I forgot to put the 1935 up here

OK, spill it! Where do you shop!!!!!

Very nice!

I like the two 1950 ones!

Sweet...how far is that to a complete schilling type set?

A variety of places ... The 1817 was from the last local coin show, the 1901 was from a guy at the local coin club, the 1935 was from a local coin shop, the 1937, 1950's and 1953's are from proof (specimen) sets I got from two different guys on another coin forum.

Wow ... not very far at all, I'm afraid. Just from George III onward there will be at least 33 types.

... sorry ... double posted

Do you have any British sixpences as I have some recent shillings I could send to you if you get in touch with me.

Love that 1817!

If Auldfartte is going down the road of Shilling type set then theres;

George IV Type 1 (garnished shield?)
George IV Type 2 (a different type of shield)
George IV Type 3 (lion on crown)
William IV (This is my favourite!)
Victoria Young
Victoria Jubilee
Edward VII
George V Type 1 (lion on crown with inner circles, this is my fave of the moderns)
George VI Type 1 Scottish
Elizabeth II Type 2 English
Elizabeth II Type 2 Scottish


I did collect shillings but i got fed up of all the English, Scottish variants... doubles the amount of coins you have to get from 1937-1970.

Which was the factor that inevitably led me to switch to sixpences.

Nice shillings. Your collection never ceases to amaze me.

OMG those are nice.... Do you want to get married?

Check with me next spring when I get divorced
