Shillings

 

WTH-7950:  Edward VI Hammered Fine Silver Issue Shilling.  Initial mark Tun - the more interesting variety with x4 pellets surrounding the obverse im and none surrounding the reverse.  Tower (London) mint, 1551-53, following on for the debased issues of earlier Edward VI and later Henry VIII.  Indeed, this Third Period Fine Silver issue was literally the finest ever issued under the Tudors, which is impressive considering the 1551 Third Base Issue was probably the very worst under the Tudors!  Spink 2482.  A pleasing coin with excellent eye-appeal, being altogether better than the majority of examples you come across.  £465

 

WTH-8023:  Edward VI Fine Silver Issue Hammered Shilling.  Initial mark Tun, third period, fine silver issue of 1551-3, London mint, Spink 2482.  Lost very soon after it was issued from the mint but lost to the plough soil so although VF, which is actually rare to see in these shillings, there are associated surface marks.  £435

 

 

 

Sixpences

 

WTH-7902:  Edward VI Hammered Silver Tudor Sixpence.  Fine silver issue of 1551-53.  Initial mark upright Tun, Spink 2483.  Rarer than the shillings by some margin.  Ex H.M. Lingford collection and sold with his original 1948 ticket.  £445

 

 

 

Pennies

 

WTH-6832:  Edward VI Hammered Billon Silver Penny.  Rare LONDON Penny, Third Period, 1551, Spink 2474.  London is a lot rarer than York, contrary to what Spink suggest.  I don't recall ever having had a London third period penny before.  £175

 

WTH-7645:  Edward VI Tudor Hammered Silver Penny.   Third period, “very base issue” of 1551, in fact so much so that coinage from this debased issue circulated at 50% face value.  York mint.  Spink 2475.  Wavy flan but in terms of detail only, marginally better than the Spink plate coin.  £225

 

WTH-7737:  Edward VI Tudor Hammered Silver Penny.   Third period, “very base issue” of 1551, in fact so much so that coinage from this debased issue circulated at 50% face value.  York mint, initial mark Mullet.  Old tickets.  Spink 2475.  Excellent detail and grade.  Choice.  £395
