KoRnholio Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 1/13th of a shilling? Seriously? I thought a shilling was equal to 12 pence. So was this worth 0.92 of a penny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get all of the history of Jersey coins here http://jerseycoins.com/ I've got some better samples posted there too, like quite amaizing 1/48'th of a shilling. I have stalled at my early 1/26'th of a shilling mostly, didn't get even 10% of my Jersey scanned yet, I am barely managing to scan and post the new arrivals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Jersey's coinage and that of Guernesey were unique, because they weren't quite French, nor quite English. Whilst Jersey did adopt larger vernacular coins, ie shilling, it's divisions thereof were different being that they were 1/52nd shilling, 1/26th shilling, 1/13th shilling etc. Meanwhile on Guernesey, they denominated their day to day coins in doubles, pronounced like doobles, so that a penny was actually 8 doubles, a farthing 2 doubles, halfpenny was 4 doubles etc. Threepence were 1/4 shilling in both places. And BTW Sandy, nice colouring on the 1/13th, like it much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I have been to Jersey dozens of times and I know of one coin shop, I bought many Jersey coins from the gentlemen. Made a change from hammereds, looks like I always need my fix of coins, even on holiday! Cheap yet very nice coins, think I'll stick to English and Irish hammered though...

sandy3075 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 And BTW Sandy, nice colouring on the 1/13th, like it much. Thanks. Have you seen the 1/48'th of a penny? http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view_enlarge.aspx?id=937525 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy3075 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Another catch - Real nice 1/24'th for 1909, lots of red I'd say that the Krause pricing is out of line (among many other things) between 1/12'th and 1/24'th for this year. Half pennies were issued substantially smaller mintage of 120,000 and they are rarer to find than bigger coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy3075 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Nice 1931 twelfth of a shilling. I have a couple brown ones that may be better but none so bright reddish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy3075 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 1861 1/13 of a shilling, nice. It is brown in color, one cut on the Victoria's neck but full very nice rims which is quite rare in these large early coinage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy3075 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Third and last of the 3 coins I recently got from the UK. This one is an 1844 1/13'th of a shilling. Krause provides a much smaller mintage then typical for the series however some authors, including H.K. Fear http://jerseycoins.com/pen13/mint_44/Mint_1844.htm who quotes Royal Mint documents disputing Piedmore estimate of 27,000 and instead indicates that 145,000 was minted. I hold Harold an authority in Jersey coins so I am likely to consider this year more of an ordinary rather then rare. Although it looks nice on the scan, it is not as nice in real life, yet a very fine specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy3075 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 1866 twenty-sixth of a shilling in pleasant condition, I have had one before which was a very fine, this one is higher grade. It is not as good as a picture shows though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy3075 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Later series KM-8 1877 Jersey 1/12'th of a shilling, looks to me good extra fine specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 some fine coinage on display, i will add one that i have, still with toning, not valuable but good to view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy3075 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Here is mostl brownish but very lightly circulated, good extra fine KM-10, 1909 1/12'th of a shilling or penny, mintage is 180,000, one of the 2 jersey coins with Edward VII portrait. Interestingly the 1/24'th is a smaller mintage but is priced lower in Krause which I find amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartwheel Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 There are two distinctive types of 1/13th shilling coins, the later ones are struck on a smaller flan than the earlier issuse to co-respond with the size of the circulating UK pennies. Nice coins all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
