If you want to collect coins from this reign, then collecting coins like this one will give access to a wider range. What sort of circulation did this coin have? There are at least three answers: (1) general circulation (2) Maundy only (3) available from banks for peppercorn rents, exam and apprenticeship prizes and other special payments
@BitsAndBobsCoins It would have been answer (3) just prior to 1908. I am not sure about the Eighteenth Century, when banks may not have existed in their present form.
Beautiful penny.
It sure is!
Lovely looking coin ⚓️👍🧲

Nice video 👍
Thanks 👍
@BitsAndBobsCoins your welcome 👍
Thought the prices were low considering the scarcity and age of the coin
Perhaps it's a bargain
@BitsAndBobsCoins Indeed
