AuldFartte Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Sweet...how far is that to a complete schilling type set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldFartte Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 OK, spill it! Where do you shop!!!!! 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.

AuldFartte Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Sweet...how far is that to a complete schilling type set? Wow ... not very far at all, I'm afraid. Just from George III onward there will be at least 33 types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch91 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Do you have any British sixpences as I have some recent shillings I could send to you if you get in touch with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
